Help! Pain in my rightside abdominal area!



Recommended Posts

Since earlier today I jave been having this constant muffled pain in my righthand side of my abdomen. Where I think my liver area is.

You know the feeling of when you were still at school and running for exercise and you would get that stabbing pain when you are unfit?

It is exactly that pain.

Any idea what it might be?

When i keep lie totally still i dont feel it, but when i inhale air i can feel it stab again. Also when i make any sudden movement.

This freaks me out! Can it be my galbladder?? What are the symptoms for that?? And a hernia?

Please help I am so damn paranoid!

Do you still have your appendix?

Do you still have your appendix?

And it also could be kidney stones if located about the lower part of the right side (basically the small of your back area which can travel to the front), liver could be next it is a little higher up and little higher up from that, then the gallbladder. Best bet, contact your doctor, you had major surgery so it is better to be safe than sorry.

Could be gas too !!! In the day those pains would happen upon exertion were called "a stitch in my side". Well at least here in NJ :) I would call your surgeon !!! Feel better !

Feel better I had this issue also but turn out to be nada. I guess the fact that I just had surgery made me feel as if I wasn't getting enough air.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
