Common Questions and Answers about Gas pain after surgery

gas

Avatar n tn Last night the pain was really severe, but I realize that I ate something that I should not have. Gas-X has helped some, but not much relief.
Avatar f tn t always in their shoulders. Some had pain in their chest and abdomen from the gas. Have you tried Gas X and that sort of thing? What about your pain medication? Does it help? I hope you feel better soon!
Avatar n tn I'm glad you came through surgery well. I'm guessing that what you are feeling is gas. They blow you up with a lot of gas to be able to create more room in your abdomen to more easily be able to work on you. Basically, you have to fart (pardon my french). The best way to get things moving is for you to move. It is important to get the gas out by moving because it can move up by your shoulder blades and cause pain (this didn't happen to me, but I've heard it is NO fun).
Avatar f tn Hello I have not had my surgery yet. But I will definitely be having one to remove a 10cm mass from my left ovary and a 4cm plus 3cm crenated comolex cust from my right. I am very scared and wanted to ask you what the prep and surgery is like. My mom had a 10cm dermoid mass removed a long time and she tells me the only problem she had was pain. But her surgery was done vaginally. I had a C-sectiin eith my son and most of what you are feeling is exaclty how I felt after surgery.
Avatar n tn I had one attack of biliary colic before the surgery. After the surgery, I took a while to feel better, even had another attack of biliary colic - post-surgery. I have to be extremely careful what I eat. I had an upper endoscopy today. I have erosive esophagitis and will start taking Nexium in the morning. This is all very frustrating. My gastro gave me Miralax to try and I ended up with a severe reaction to it. They called it hypocalcaemia(?
Avatar n tn What kind of pain meds have they given you? Gas pains are definitely common after surgery and can hurt more than the surgery. You should try taking Ovol or Gas X which will help to break up the gas and try walking around which will get it moving. I hope you feel better soon.
Avatar f tn what is the normal time for the gas bubble to be in the eye after retinal detachment surgery? I have the bubble almost 2 months now, and my Dr. said my retina has healed. also, is occasional pain in the eye normal after surgery? i have slight pain, but i'm not supposed to "feel" the eye anymore... tip for Retinal D. REST a lot after surgery, even if someone is telling you it's ok to do this and that... thanks you all!!
Avatar m tn The pain your describing is most likely the gas as you suspect. Try drinking something carbonated to get some of it out. It should hopefully subside in a few days. I know it can be quite painful. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
1365865 tn?1278116697 Hello! A year and half ago i had a hysteractomy. A cyst was also detected on my left ovary, but by the time I went to my gyno he couldn't see it so my ovaries were left alone. About a year after my surgery I started feeling discomfort on my lower left pelvic area. I guessed it was my ovaries again but chose to ignore, but pain continued to get worst. After about 4 months of this I decided to go to my gyno, the pain was already hard to handle and had travelled to my right side.
Avatar f tn Although I had put heavy pillows against my back in bed to prevent rolling over in the night after a vitrectomy plus gas bubble to repair a retinal detachment, I did suddenly wake up in the night finding I had rolled onto my back (I think that's why I woke up). I freaked and accused my husband, who was asleep on the other side of the pillows, of not paying attention! When I was examined by the surgeon first thing the next morning, as is the norm following this surgery, all was fine.
Avatar f tn Anesthesia in general can knock the living sh**t out of people for weeks following the surgery. The gas is one of the worst side effect of lap surgery. It can settle between your shoulder blades, make you feel like you are having a heart attack, which causes a little anxiety and makes everything feel worse. The weakness is probabably from the anesthesia, the dizzyness from the patch as well as the vision problem. I know it is not easy, but try and take short little walks in your house.
Avatar m tn My daughter had laproscopic gallbladder surgery & spent 2 nights in the hospital. They (the nurses) acted like she was a baby because pain meds weren't working. She's been home for almost a week now and complains of pain when she takes a deep breath. She also says she is "uncomfortable" on her right side. I'm not sure about sneezing or coughing. She is afaid everyone thinks she is a baby. (PS: she works in the office at the hospital).
Avatar f tn During the surgery they pump your stomach with gas so they can see in there and the gas rises up and gets stuck in your shoulders and chest, this will cause some soreness for a while, until the gas slowly disappears or is released. Pain on the left side is normal probably due to the gas and when they are in there they move things around so it may just be sore from surgery, if the pain is unbearable call your Dr. Since I had both tubes removed my only option was full blown IVF.
Avatar n tn Hello. I had a LAVH 2 weeks ago so her discomfort is fresh in my mind....it will get better. The first night home for me was the hardest! The inability to urinate after abdominal surgery is a "common" side effect. The bladder is a muscle that sometimes needs time to regain function after anesthia. I did not have this problem but from what I read function usually comes back. As for the gas pains......that is what she is going to battle the most the next couple of days.
Avatar f tn I find that the pain meds only take the edge off for me, a lot of the pain seems to come from the gas and constipation so you could try something like buscopan and de-gas pills to see if they help you. But I would talk to the hospital about that too.
Avatar f tn My understanding is that the surgeon did a vitrectomy and repaired the tear using cyro (?) and then the gas bubble. I healed well after the surgery. Gas bubble was gone exactly 2 weeks to the day post surgery. Vision returned to what it was pre-surgery in the left eye. While everything seemed to have healed well, I am continuing to have pain and redness on the left side of the left eye.
Avatar f tn m sorry but without knowing what exact surgery was done for what condition and what gas was used or if silicone was used - I just can't be much help. Gas bubbles can definitely work their way into the anterior chamber - I've seen it several times before. What may be causing pain could be elevated intraocular pressure. It that is the case - there are several glaucoma drops that can help.
Avatar f tn Three days after surgery I noticed spotting after straining to go to the washroom. On the 4th day I started getting really bad ovualtion type pain on the left side. My period was due to come 4 days from when I started spotting. How dO I know if it is my period or the ovary that is having problems.
Avatar m tn I had righ shoulder/arm pain/chest pain, nausea and burping with acid reflex. After the surgery for a few days (3 days) i had BAD shoulder pain which i was told this is normal because of the gas they give you in surgery. It did go away after 3 days and i felt better than i had in awhile. Now im starting to notice my shoulder is starting to hurt again, does anyone know if this is this still from the gas or should i be concerned?
Avatar f tn It has been almost 2 weeks since my hysterectomy surgery and the gas and cramping is the worst. I almost passed out this morning after getting out of bed cause it was so bad. I now know after reading these posts that due to having both endo and IBS it can probably expect it to hang around for another cpl months. Thank you everyone for posting.
1627039 tn?1305691098 I had my gallbladder removed laproscopically February 16th this year and im totally fine no pain at all but i have been having the worst bowel movements i constantly have diarrhea it is very very liquidy and it wont seem to go away at all with anything i eat and then everytime i feel the need to pass gas i get scared because it feels like gas but then more comes and i have to race to the bathroom, what do i do please help me.
Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed about 1 month ago. My pain from surgery has gone away, but I get these extremely sharp pains in the middle of my stomach, under the breast bone, that also radiates through my upper back and shoulders. It causes me to double over, break out in a sweat, turn white. It lasts maybe 10 - 15 minutes and then is gone and I feel fine. I also have GERD and fibromyalgia. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar n tn With my evening meal I take 3-4 Beano (before eating) and 3-4 Gas-X (after eating). I take 3 Gas-X at bedtime. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it does not. In an effort not to overdose on them, and since early in the day the gas is less, I usually do not take them with breakfast or lunch. These pills sometimes seem to help, sometimes not. This is a huge problem. Please tell me there is a solution to this extremely significant problem. Thank you.
Avatar f tn ) But, aside from the anesthesia, I had no issues. I was expected a lot of bloating and gas pain (everyone talks about that), but that wasn't the case. I didn't experience that. My surgeon told me that with the removal of only one ovary I shouldn't experience any hormonal issues...and I haven't. Apparently, the remaining ovary takes over and everything is exactly the same as it was before the surgery. As far as returning to exercise goes, I waited quite some time.
Avatar f tn I had the typical post-op discomfort/pain at the incision sites with movement. I did not experience much bloating gas pain in the chest/shoulders or abdomen too much from the CO2 for the first 2 days. Then on Sunday 7/24 I started experiencing terrible chest heaviness/discomfort, like a bloating air/gas feeling when laying down, walking etc. I kept fluids in me and every time I belched it would relieve some discomfort for a very short time but it would hurt every time I belched.
Avatar m tn The surgeon says that it is healing fine, but I still have an achy pain in the eye every so often during the day. Nothing like it was after the surgery, but it is still there. There is vision that is so/so. I had visian lens implants in 2010 and lasik in 2011. I have now developed cataracts in both eyes that will have to be dealt with at a later time, but now both eyes are photosensitive..tough going outside without sunglasses and it is tough getting the right reading glasses.
