RawrrAshleex3 137 Posted August 7, 2012 Where exactly? I ended up back in the hospital for 4 or 5 days because my lower left side/lower left side on my back (wrapped around) hurt and psi meds weren't helping much. Turned out to be a splenic infarcture. Basically part of my stomach shared a blood supply with my spleen, so cutting it out stopped blood flow to that part of my spleen. it was no big deal though, the tissue there scarred down/shrank and stil works!! About a week after no more pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texarkolina 201 Posted August 7, 2012 I am going through the exact same thing. My pain is in my shoulder and abdomen. Only thing that helps is a heating pad on my shoulder--and the help is minimal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettysleeved1 173 Posted August 7, 2012 I'm two weeks out and I still have some pain on my left side. It'll go away gradually day-by-day. A heating pad has worked wonders for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxskillz 43 Posted August 7, 2012 Sorry to hear that. Heating pads have helped me also. I'm a week out, and still am very sore. The gas pain is gone, but my left side can get bad especially with any rotational movement. I'm a side sleeper and I always end up on my left side. I think that is my main problem, have you looked at how you sleep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
