Relieve Back Pain

lilly_rose_starphase asked:


I gave birth to a baby girl on Friday, Saturday morning I had my “tubes tied”. I know the pain I’m in is from the gas they used during the surgery, what I need to know is how do I get relief? I was told to “pass gas” but well, that’s not exactly easy. I was also told to keep as mobile as I’m comfortable enough to be. I have been up and walking around today, and as soon as I tried to lay down and go to sleep, the pain was back full force. Is there anything I can take to try to relieve some of this gas? I have a 2 day old infant to care for, I need to rest when she allows and if I’m in this much pain there is no way for me to get any sleep! Last night in the hospital I had to sleep sitting up in bed, at home that’s not as likely of an option. Please help me!
I’d like to add that the gas isn’t just in my tummy. It’s free roaming throughout my body. I literally get gas pains in my shoulders and such… It’s quite painful and often takes my breath away. If anyone has any medicine suggestions, they do have to be safe for breastfeeding.
