Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 I am mostly a lurker, but I do know there are many of you in this group that can help with medical questions. I am about 4 months post-op and have done pretty well to this point. I have 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. Please help! What should I do? Kathy M.
