Since my bypass On Oct. 5, I have experienced lots of pain. By the end of the 1st month I was have some pain free days without any medication. then in about the end of the second month I started have these stabbing pains above and below my left rib cage, in my neck on the left size, and sometime on the rigth just above the brest bond. I went to the hospital once and it was determined that I had eschemia (inflamition on the outside of the lung?). I prescribed predsone and a diretic which I stopped taking a couple of weeks ago. Now the pain is back with a vengence I have been unable to do any thing much for at least 10 days. Becaue of my medical history in the last 10 months I a afaid to go to the ER. I do not think I can take another procedre. Why is it such a problem to give me pain pills?
