15 days post-op with side aches...anybody else?

choldren · September 8, 2005

I've felt so good since surgery, 8/24/05, so I started walking on my treadmill about 5 days ago for 2 slow miles each day. Yesterday after I finished my left side port area and a little to the left of that, started hurting. The pain was similar to that when you've eaten alot then ran or walked fast. As long as I was sitting it was okay but when I walked or went up and down stairs it would hurt again. I've not had a fill yet but since yesterday it seems like I'm having a lot of trouble just getting down juice, like it's just sitting in my throat. If any of you have had similar experiences I'd really like to hear them. My mind is going nuts thinking all kinds of things that could be wrong. Thanks so much for any ideas!

I had the same pain and it did finally go away. Every once in a while I will feel it again. I used one of those wide bands that velco around your waist for support and it helped. The bad part about that was that it made me sweat and it was hot. Time will heal it and the pain will go away.

I had the same type discomfort today when I went to walk at the gym. I cut my walk short--but will try again tomorrow.
