Severe Stabbing Pain!

[PiggyPantsPaige 10]

6 day post op & I cant get but 1 spoonful of food down per setting! I have a SEVERE stabbing pain lasting a few seconds every 30 seconds for an hr! I can take

A sip or two with the same affect

Is this normal?! Im lucky to get 15 grams of Protein in a day.

Yes, it can be normal. But to be safe, I'd call your surgeon for advice. I was on liquids for almost two weeks, not sure what foods you're allowed on your plan at day 6? Might be too soon?

My doctor gave me a very low dose of Ativan to help with esophageal spasms (anti-anxiety type medication). It helped during the healing phase!

Any severe pain (especially one that is getting worse as time goes by) warrants a call to the Dr. That's what they are there for.

Call your surgeon, you are probably having spasms.

[AliveAgain 283]

How fast or slow are you taking them in? Do you see a difference in temperatures? Sometimes warm tea went down better than room temp or cold liquids, sometimes vice versa.

Are all the severe pains in the chest/rib area? Usually in the abdomen it's gas or incisional healing. Still if it's with anything you try, I'd call your doctor.

I have the same thing going on. I'm 11 days out. Every bite, every drink the same pain. Mine is still from swelling, but definitely check with your doctor.

Paige. I feel your pain girl. It's just such a hassle to even try to eat or drink anything. My dr says it'll get better. I hope it does for you as well, what does your dr say?
