When Does The Gas Pain End??

[healthymomof3 8]

I've notices on this and some other discussions that people at a similar stage to me ( 5 days post op) discussing there need/not need to use their pain meds.

Can I ask some of you what pain meds you were sent home with and the length of time your doc said you would need use of them?

As I said before I am 5 days post op and was sent home with NOTHING!! I've been suffering in silence and am beginning to think my doc is just plain meanîî

I was sent home with percocet, it was making me nauseous so I did'nt take anything on day 2 and it was awful. I called and they gave me another for the nausea called zofran. I have only been taking it a couple of times a day. I can't believe they sent you home with nothing!! I would call and ask for something! I hope you get some relief soon!

I was sent home with Oxycodone. Bless your heart. Definitely call your Dr.!!!

Trenz, you should have been sent home with something. That's just wrong.

I was lucky as my shoulder gas hurt the first night after surgery. Once I felt it I got off the bed into a chair near pc and put heating pad on me and then I fell asleep in my chair. The next morning for about an hour moe then it disappeared.

I have been hearing mixed things about the Gas X. Some say that it doesn't work because the gas isn't directly in the intestines?! I went through almost a whole box but not going to get anymore. I am like you and have been walking etc. and nothing helps. It is coming out though but as fast as it goes out it builds right back up again. So weird! I wonder if it has anything to do with my Protein shake?! I vaguely remember feeling bloated drinking the shakes pre surgery. I have the Premier ones from costco. I think I'll go buy the whey today at GNC and see if that is better. Good luck to you

I'm with you Roxygirl I'm still fighting the gas and pain and soreness. The pain is dropping and I'm lowering the amount I use. I'm down to about every 8 hrs for the pain meds. I think part of my pain/soreness is because a port site is on my left side and my left arm basically sits on it. I try to move it but its my paralyzed arm from my stroke so I can only do so much. I'm walking, drinking my Water, trying to get in my Protein. I've yet to have a bm. i'm taking my liquid Colace so I'm sure that is contributing to things. If things mellow out they just fill back up. grrrrrrrrrrr
