Has anyone had bad back pains in the ribs that goes around to the front of ribs on the right side

go to the hospital. I am not normally a wistle blower, but rigth after the surgery I devloped pancreatitis and i waited it out at home for days... by the time I came in they said if I had waited another week I would have died. Better to be safe than sorry, and a simple blood test can answer if its that or not. Also, possibly gallbladder?.

hey I do hope u feel better I am seeing general surgeon and family doctor since my surgery I was hospitalized 3 times I am still in a lot of pain but I just know how to manage it better if I am not so active it hurts a little less plus heating pads makes it better my pain was worse at night so I went to the clinic and got acupuncture and it helps a lot. When I was in hospital they gave me morphine and it didn't help with my pain at all now my side still hurts is like a stubbing pain that hurts more when u breath and goes all the way to the back but I also have very bad lower back pain for 13 lbs lost and all the pain it wasn't worth it at all

keep me posted here is my email aggi_@hotmail.com

I am having the same problems with back pain. When they put you under at the hospital your body goes limp. Once they move you being under it strains your back. I heard it takes awhile to recover. Go to a chiropractor or get a massage. But of course contact your doc first.
