painful day
Hi everyone. Today I had a problem. At about 8:30 this morning, I
started having stomach cramps. Not female related, they felt a bit
like gas cramps, but much more severe. They continued and came in
waves — some were very very painful, others were a mild nuisance.
The pain was above the belly button, below the sternum and deep in my
abdomen. Sometimes I also had pain in my back. This carried on for
several hours. I called my family doctor (not my surgeon because my
family Dr. is local and my surgeon is 150 miles from me) and went in
for a visit this evening. He found nothing. I have tenderness left
of center when he pressed on my abdomen but he really couldn’t find
the source of my pain. He ordered some labs for me but otherwise I
am stuck with the pain. It isn’t as intense now as it was most of
the day.
Has anyone else had something like this? I am almost three
months post-op. I have been eating a fairly stable diet with little
variance and little trouble. Please advise.
