laurdy 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all I'm 14 days post op, I went back to work last Monday when I was 10 days post op, my back is killing me about 3 hrs into my shift the pain is so bad but by the time I get home lay down for 10mins and its fine. Could I be doing to much? Apart from the back pain I feel really good Oh I work on checkouts. Thanks Laura x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chemicalruth 10 Posted August 29, 2013 10 days post up I was still struggling with the gas. Make sure you walk everyday and take your gas-x. Once you get rid of the gas you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I'm walking a lot and I'm on my feet for my whole shift 8+hrs, I'm in Australia and we don't have gas-x here i asked the chemist and they just gave me a antacid and I don't think it's working, Could you please tell me the contains and I'll see if they have anything similar?

davidpelletier 50 Posted August 29, 2013 I'm sorry your uncomfortable....to answer your questions (if you still need them answered). The active ingredient in Gas-x is 'Simethicone'. I did a quick google search and they say that there's an Australian equivalent called 'De-Gas'. Hope that helps and good luck! ~David. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
