I had the same operation 8yrs ago, its an awful feeling and i sympathise with you. You could try some windease , if your worried phone the ward of the hospital you was on and they will advise you. Hope your feeling better soon x

i am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and it could be wind but it could also be muscular cramp, you are put into some funny positions when undergoing an op. Try a hot water bottle on your back or at he side of the pain. If you have some peppermint drink available or even warm boiled water, drink some. Ginger is best if you have it. If you still have this pain in 24 hours get a doctor.

It does sound like trapped wind, I had a hysterectomy last year and I felt uncomfortable for a couple of weeks until all the gas had dispursed. Try gently rubbing your upper abdoman and going for a bath.You could also try windese or gaviscon. If the pain gets worse make sure you phone the oncall doctor xxx

the rationalization for that's because at the same time as pregnant you've a lot more beneficial ranges of progesterone, a hormone that relaxes comfortable muscle mass for the time of your body, which consists of your gastrointestinal tract. This relax slows down your digestive strategies, that could carry about gas, bloating, burping, and flatulence and mainly create depressing sensations on your gut, fantastically after a huge meal which s why at the same time as pregnant they say rather of having finished meal you need to have smaller foodstuff with extra snacks in between!!.

Try laying on your left side for a bit. This may help relieve some of the pressure. Then get up and move around a bit more. And try laying on your left side again.
Hope this helps. It is an awful feeling.

don't take advice from this lot, ring the hospital. Seriously, ring them. You are fresh out of surgery and this needs to be looked at. Will you promise you will do this?

Sorry to hear about your operation. Hope you recover quickly. My advice would be to ring NHS Direct (if you are in the UK) and ask their advice. At least then you can be sure you are talking to someone who is trained.
