Can't sleep lying down have to sleep sitting up in chair. I don't think I have any fill just placement. Called md office thinks could be gas pain. Has anyone else had or have this.

I had this pain...felt it all the way through to my back. Although mine happened 4 weeks post op. Found out it was indigestion. I usually take prilosec every day but had stopped taking it because i wasnt feeling the normal heart burn pains.

I ended up being out of work sick for two days from all the pain. Went to dr, they first said it was Constipation but after taking milk of magnesia it didnt clear up. Went back to dr and thats when we figured out it may be the indigestion. I went home and immediately took my prilosec. Two days later, i was feeling a world of a difference. Now, 4 days later, i feel great. The indigestion just wasnt showing itself like it normally did before surgery.

Hope u feel better soon!!
