Oh Penny I feel terrible for you. I always hope I will be the only one and that others will do better. Yes I had pain. The 2 first days I had a pump in my spine (how do you call that in English?) then they took it out. I had pain for about 5 days and my stomach was so bloated I looked pregnant. I had pain from the bloating and pain going up my back to the shoulder blade and the worst Gerd you can imagine. I had RFA and resection during the same operation and they also took the gallbladder out. Did they take yours out? My sense of smell went crazy for 2 days. I could smell absolutely everything. I know what it is to be a dog now! I did not like that at all. For the bloating they told me the only thing to do was to walk. So as difficult as it was I would walk every hour. But everything got better day after day so ask your doctors to help you. Don't stay with pain. It is difficult to find the perfect morphine dosage because of nausea but you can feel it and ask them for anti nausea medication to help. Stay strong. Every hour is a victory and you are going to be better and better. You did the hardest part Penny! I hate to know you are in pain. Hugs. Michka
