Help needed day 14 post op :-(

[pinklady130868]

Hi everyone
Advice needed please :-( I'm 14 days post op and I'm I'm agony. Throughout the day I've had a very sharp pain under my lower left rib and my left lung at the back is killing me. I've resorted to painkillers and a hot water bottle :-(
I've rang the ward at spire and the nurse spoke to dr Decadt. He advised to see GP in the morning and see how I go on over night, but I feel so uncomfortable :-(
Has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried? (I'm still taking clexane for 21 days post op due to previous dvt)
Thanks guys x

Did you have a drain at all? Im also 2 weeks post op and Ive had a lot of pain on my left side as I had a drain that went from next to my belly button to right up under my rib cage on the left & that gives me alot of pains. Also it could be some trapped wind, does it hurt when you breath in? thats usually a sign of trapped wind. But having a check with the gp is always a good idea just to be on the safe side.
I hope it eases soon and does turn out to be nothing. Take care.xxxx

Toilet issues????

 

[pinklady130868]

Deffinately not toilet issues and I didn't have a drain either :-(
I'm still in agony and have taken a tramadol. I'm going to have to visit GP in the morning I think :-(

I hope you feel better soon - could still be trapped wind at this point, or simply heavy internal bruising xxxxx

It probably wouldn't hurt to try some rennies or windeze, just in case it is a bit of trapped wind.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon x

[angeeb]

I was wondering how you are too? any luck with the gp visit?

 

[pinklady130868]

Just to update everyone

I'm now back in spire hospital. Was admitted last night as an emergency. My pain hasn't eased and I've been fainting. I've had an X-ray which is showing that I have either a swab left in me or a cyst :-(. I'm having an MRI this afternoon and then going back into surgery this eve to have it removed or washed out if it is a cyst :-(
I knew the pain wasn't normal or wind pain. I can't thank my GP and the spire enough for their treatment so far.
I will update you all when I can x

Gwr well soon sweetie x

 

[minxie]

Hope they soon sort you out and you are feeling well again. If they have left a swab in they had better be very, very apologetic!!

 

[daisydaye]

good luck and I hope things go ok

OMG so it really wasn't normal post op pain! You poor thing! I hope they compensate you if they left a swab in you!

 

[pinklady130868]

Lol for compensation I should be given a tummy tuck lol
I'm not going to go that pathway... It's a genuine overlook. My friend is a theatre technician n it happens all the time. Anyway the scan will show what it is as it may be a cyst :-(
Either way I know I'm in safe hands as I could've ended up in Warrington hospital who don't have a clue about medical or patient care. So can only admire spire for their prompt action
Thanks guys for your best wishes xx
