3 weeks ago today i had laproscopic appendectomy . Last week when it was 2 weeks after my surgery I started having upper stomach cramps . It has only increased in cramps and pain. I started taking some Donnatal that I had left from last year and it has helped with the cramps but still feel very sore and bloated in my upper stomach. What could be going on with me?
Hello, Sharrel, I hope you contacted the surgeon that did the laparoscopic surgery prior to taking medications on your own. If you were given pain medications, it is possible that you might be experiencing some side effects. After any type of intestinal surgery, the contractions of the intestines are a little slow and this might account for the bloating. Also, Don natal slows down the contractions. If the pain persists, I would recommend contacting the surgeon who may recommend some x-rays or scans. Hope you feel better.
