Hi, I am one day out from surgery and I have such excrutiaing pain!! I can bearly sit, stand or lay down. Anyone else experience this?

My first three days were miserable. I was in pain with my head and jaw..then my arm. I was so nauseated too. I cried morning four wishing I hadn't done it. Now I am much better! 2 weels out!

I am one day out as well. But pain is being managed by some pain killers and they are giving me something for gas pain too. I am just it by all over though!

I stopped the morphine while in the hospital the wanting to vomit was too much. I did liquid Tylenol with codeine while in the hospital and a script filled for it. Took some once I hot home yesterday, needed it after the walk up three flight of steps. Did not need any more since. Today it's gas pain, so I have the gas x strips they seems to help. Not to be gross I get excited when I pass gas. It does help with the pressure I feel on my stomach.

Swift recovery all!

how long is it ok to take gas-x, and how much? a couple of times a day i get really bloated and get a lot of back pain. I have had two strips so far today (in the morning) but it says no more than 8 in 24 hours? Oh, I'm 5 days post-op.

Are you home or in the hospital? If it is that bad, you may want to check with MD to see if that is a normal amount of pain. I haven't had it yet, but that seems excessive. Call them. It will put your mind at ease if nothing else. Have you taken pain killers? Is the pain relieved by meds? Does it get worse after drinking something? Do you have fever or elevated heart rate?

I am so sorry to hear you are in such pain. I consider myself BEYOND lucky as I had no gas pain at all. There was a woman across the hall from me in the hospital who was suffering terribly. My patient care technician said to me "God is with you my dear". I had Dilaudid and Toradol for pain with Zofran for nausea in the hospital. Home now, have liquid tylenol with codeine but don't really need it. I have taken some children's meltaway tylenols today. I was fearing the recovery.

I hope you feel better and this is a distant memory soon

Morphin made me itch too but I used it till they took it away. Major surgery. Take it easy. Walk when you can. Communicate your pain to you professional caretakers. Know it will pass and it is worth it.

I also didnt have gas pain. Lucky me
