I had my sphincterotomy last week. Thanks to everyone who shared their opinions and stories with me!
Here I am one week post surgery, and I’d say it worked. The pain and spasms have most definitely reduced significantly.
But now there is this new pain. And again, I’m one week out. This new pain feels exactly like a stomach ulcer, but on the right side. (So definitely not a stomach ulcer.) And it is unaffected by my pain meds I have from the months prior to the surgery.
Did anyone else feel like that?
Admittedly, it was hard for me to go back on solids after 5 days of liquids. And today I made the huge mistake of taking an iron pill, and eating chips and salsa. (It was Cinco De Mayo Taco Tuesday! I had no choice.) And WOW was that a mistake.
But dang this ulcer feeling is getting old, and I don’t know how to reduce the burning feeling!
