Recommended Posts

Its been almost 2 years since I have surgery - the other day I was sitting on a small stool & reached down to pick up something off the floor – when I bent over I had a terrible pain under my upper left rib cage – now it is very sore and even hurts when I cough – any suggestions as to what it could be – I hope I didn’t hurt myself I was self pay and my insurance will not pay for anything – thanks for all your help

I have no idea but I hope it gets better and you figure it out. Can you call and ask your doctor about it without going in for a visit?

Sounds like a pulled muscle. If its not getting better, call your surgeon.

I think it's unlikely to be related to your surgery if you are nearly 2 years post-op. I'd wait a few days and see if it goes away. If not, see your PCP. There are a lot of things that can cause pain around the ribs.

Thanks guys I really appreciate your input. It doesn't seem to be as bad this morning. I will call if it doesn't improve. I am not sure how the stomach lies after surgery and was just thinking my ribs may have pushed down over the staple line and caused pain, I don't even know if thats possible. Again, thanks so much for replying.
