Kathy,

If you think it maybe a problem with your bowels, goto the hospital

immediately!! Have you been diagnosed with a hernia ? I wonder if the coughing

is squeezing your intestines through a hole in your abdominal wall ? Unless

you're local to your DS surgeon, go to the ER and get checked!!

*hugs*

had a bad cough for the last week. This morning when I coughed, I got a sharp

pain in my lower right side. The pain was so bad that I almost fell over. I

can't seem to stand up straight without feeling pain and coughing is really

painful. I have found if I bend tight in that area when I cough it isn't as

bad. What is this? At first I thought it was a pulled muscle, but now it

really hurts and I am getting scared. I called my surgeons office, but I don't

expect to hear back for a couple of hours as they are in surgery right now.

If you have been coughing a lot, or hard enough, you may have

separated a rib from the cartilage. An X-Ray would confirm it. I did

the same thing many years ago and the pain was just as you described.

Either way you need to see a doctor to rule out anything else.
