Sharp pain 2 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Every time I take in a deep breath or yawn, I feel this stabbing pain in my right lower rib cage. It doesn’t feel like its actually in my lungs bc I can breath just fine but the sharp pain is enough to interrupt my yawn or deep breaths.

Anyone experienced this?

Yep. Had that exact same thing happen when I would yawn. Don't know if I would describe it as stabbing, but was painful. I just attributed it to pressure getting put on the surgery points when taking in a deep breath from yawning. Eventually it tapered off and went away.

I am 3 weeks out and I still have a sharp pain on my right side, Its not all the time but when it happens it can almost bring me to my knees. I was hopeing it would be better by now.

Mine went away completely by week 4. My pain was localized to be near my incision on the right side. I was told it was the inside stitches pulling at my belly wall under where they did the glue on the incisions. Previous to that, severe pain I had on my right side was due to Constipation and being backed up pretty bad - that was constant pain though and not a sharp short pain due to movement.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
