pain on left side

[Lynn1962 0]

I had my surgery on Feb 18 of this. The first few days I had really bad gas pain in my chest, upper back and left shoulder. A couple of days ago I started having pain in my left rib cage. I sit up all day and most nights to help with the pressure. I take Gas-X strip and pepcid but, the pain is still present. Taking a deep breath or moving is very discomforting. Can anyone advice me about my condition?

Have you tried a heating pad?? That what I used after my surgery (the 19th) and just kept it on for a long while. It helped my shoulder pains

Thanks for your help. I'm trying the heating pad now and it is helping.
