Ruptured Appendix Surgery

by summer9252, Apr 05, 2009 11:05AM
Hi..I just recently had my appendix removed, it ruptured and I had an appendectomy..It's been a few days since I've been out of the hospital and I've been burping constantly and recently everytime I burp I have this sharp pain in the left part of my back..It hurts everytime I breathe in really fast too..Also, my bowel movements have been a little funny..not very much comes out and when it does it comes out really soft and with a weird odor (maybe from antibiotics) My doctor said it could be from antibiotics..Any info on why I have these pains in my back when breathing, burping, etc. ?
Thanks

My husband recently when thru apendoctomy and has been running fever and now he has ilius  could this had been medical negligence because the nurses were not listening when my husband was in pain. How would I know if the Doctor does not want to lets us know what really happened if it rupturred or not. Now mny husband had to be tubed thru his nose to his stomach because he can not digest anything but also all that they are taking out of his stomach thru the tube is black and green. Is that normal?

Summer, consider trying some antibiotics to try to get your system back to normal. When people take antibiotics it skews the normal/beneficial bacteria in your GI system and that can cause changes in bowel function. There are a number of good brands on the market that include PB8, Digestive Advantage-IBS (not only for IBS), OTC brand of VSL#3, FloraQ and others.
