Right rib and shoulder gas pain

[LaceyFace 36]

I am 6 days post opt and the gas pains in my right rib cage and right shoulder are killing me. I can't breath deep or barely move. I am walking, walking, walking but it doesn't seem to be helping. Anyone have some cures or ideas to make me feel better??? Please????

Try a heat pack or a warm towel and put it on the area that is hurting. That may help relieve some of the gas pain. If you haven't tried already - also take some Gas-X. If you are still in a lot of pain - contact your surgeon. Don't ever be afraid to call your doctor if you are in pain or if something doesn't feel right!

Hope you get some relief soon!!
