2 Weeks Post Op - Air Hunger and Back Stiffness
The first few days after my removal pretty much all of my symptoms were gone including my occasional air hunger and back stiffness/pinpoint pain under my right shoulder blade.
Over the past 1.5 weeks I've had those 2 symptoms return. I have been experiencing some air hunger that is the same as before. Feels like I can't get a full breath and it feels like pressure from my right side. The other is the back muscle stiffness and the little pin point pain under my right shoulder blade. From what I could tell this was all related to my gallbladder but they seem to have returned and are pretty consistent.
Has anyone who experienced these symptoms pre-op also experienced then post-op and/or had them eventually fade away? Would really like to avoid having to go to more doctors to figure this out but of course will if I need to.
