I have been having issues with pain management lately. I was off all pain meds by my 1 week post op but was having some pain in my rib cage. I asked my surgeon about it and he basically brushed it off saying it's nothing. I saw him again this last week. Still in pain in my ribs and he again brushed it off saying they will be tender for a while.

for the past 48 hours the pain has gotten to the point I had to start back on pain meds. I've used ice heat everything I can think of to help this pain. I'm also on my period and the pain seems to have gotten worse with the on set of my period.

I am so thinking my bed needs to be replaced. We have had it for 6 years and we are both heavy set. It has a lot of sagging areas. Laying flat on the floor seems to help a little.

Get a new one you need it if the floor feels good & you deserve it.

It's on the left side not right side though? Lower left. Today was better.

You can have pain in your left side from your gall bladder. It can also make you have chest pains.

Good to know! I see my pcp Tuesday and I'm going to talk to him. I also have si joint dysfunction and after losing 50 lbs my joints have slipped out of place again.
