Sharp pain between breasts? Normal?

[BriDawn 79]

It's the day after surgery and I've been getting it all day. There's a sudden sharp pain that only lasts a couple seconds and then passes. Sometimes accompanied by a tiny burp.

I've just finally started fluids now and the same pain happens when I swallow the tiny sip of juice. I'm assuming it's gas (asked doc and she agreed) but just wondering if its normal and if you guys had it? When does it go away?

I believe it is normal. I had this same thing after surgery and was told it was gas from the surgery. Once they took the drainage tube out and I was able to move around more it was better. I am 12 days post op and have not had that feeling since I left the hospital.

I'm 8 weeks out and I still get this really bad. It's horrible gas pain that made me think I was having a heart attack. Called 911 twice. Had full work up. Ct scan. EKG. X-rays. Thank god nothing but most likely gas pain. Stay away from sautéed onions and other gassy foods.

I'm feeling this too. It hurts a lot but it passes quickly. Does it do it with every food you eat or drink? I finds that it's not everything and varies a lot. Water hurts the most and seems to be the absolute most unpleasant thing to drink. pudding is fine, a pop cycle was terrible. For a few days I did best when I warmed up my Protein shake, but yesterday I did that and it hurt like mad. I also had painful diarrhea.

I hate to say it but the only time it feels good to digest is when I'm walking. But I can't walk all the time-though I have been trying!

Oh and I am doing okay with Isopure bottles. The nurse gave me a medicine cup and I take an ounce every 10 minutes. I set a timer on my phone and just keep snoozing it. it's the only way I can finish those drinks. I have ADD and could easily space off or become engrossed in something for hours and forget to drink.

How are you fairing otherwise? I had my surgery on 4/22/13. I've been very restless. I keep cleaning my house-I never clean. I'm trying to make myself relax and watch some netflix. How are you doing?

what have you tried? I have Gas-x strips (they say they are cinnamon flavor but they lie) My doctor gave me hyoscyamine(levsin), and hydrocodone. The pain pills take the edge off a bit. Have you found anything better for the gas?

Right now I just push agains my chest where it hurt and force myself to breath-if i don't I will hold my breath and that hurts more. I also find yelling helps sometimes.

I had my gallbladder out last year, so I know that's not what the sharp pain is. -for me that is. But it's a similar pain except I felt like the gallstone hurt in my back too. Reminded me a lot of labor pain. This is more on the front between and under the breasts.

I'd say it is too strong to be gas pain, but it gets better when I burp.

I hope my body leans how to process food and Water again. This sucks.
