pain in left chest and arm should I call my surgeon

[littlebigman 25]

It started yesterday and its a constant pain in-between my left arm and my chest, should I call?

If you are having chest pain that radiates to your left arm you need to call 911.

Constant pain is not normal, in my opinion. Call your doctor and/or go to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and be well.

Call 911 - it's better to be embarrassed by a false alarm - than not call and be fighting for your life!

Pain on the left side just under the ribs is common post op.

The pain had finally stop but I'm going to call the surgeon as soon as they open.

So I called the surgeon and they told me to go the ER :-( guess its better to be safe then sorry. Hope it's nothing and they don't have to keep me.

I'm going to guess they are looking for a leak. Of course, how long ago were you sleeved? It could also be pain from the gas post surgery if you were sleeved recently.

I hope everything is ok! Keep us posted!

The blood work back and something was high suggesting it might be a blood clot so they are going to do a cat scan to make sure it's not

I have the same pain in same location. They found I have a hematoma from surgery. Nothing the can do but give u antibiotics to prevent infection. The hema is between my pancreas and stomach but causes most discomfort in my chest radiating to left arm. It sucks!

I hope everything is ok! how frightening - sending a prayer out!
