C-Section Recovery: Heavy Chest and Shoulder Tip Pain

ever since I've had lower back surgery back in March of 2021, I have not been right..I now have horrible anxiety. Pain just about everywhere. heads all the time and I'm severely tired even rest. sometimes my chest and shoulder (left) will hurt and I'm convinced I'm having a heart attack and will rush to the hospital just for them to tell me, you EKG looks fine and your vitals are all normal. I will wake up feeling fine and then mid day, I get what I call episodes. I'll get very very tired. dizzy. have an off feeling like something is right. I will have to lay down because my body is suddenly totally exhausted. mind you, I had NONE of this before my minor lower back surgery. it was an in and out procedure. sure! my lower back feels 95% better but what happened to me?

Hey everyone. I just had hardware removed from my back last Monday from my scoliosis surgery 9 years ago. I was doing fine until this very sharp rib pain started up in the right side of my rib cage. Sometimes I feel it start in one specific spot in my back and then wrap around my ribs, sometimes it's just in that one spot in my back, and other times it's just in my ribs. I can't get comfortable sitting or laying. I also have a hard time walking without it flying in and causing me to cripple over and squeal. When it happens while I'm talking, I stop talking because it's that bad. My surgeon was supposed to call today to talk about it but hasn't yet. His one coworker messaged me online and said it's likely nerve pain from the surgery rather than a broken vertebra or something. I just don't know why it's that one spot in my back instead of a different spot though. If anyone has advice or similar experiences, please share. 💜

I got stabed in a stupid attack the other day and now I've got a chest tube in but my wounds don't hurt and neither does my chest tube but my left shoulder and back are killing me and no I wasn't stabed there I was stabed in my stomach and left boobish but everything is ok and my doctor says they see nothing wrong with my x-rays does it make sense for my back to hurt this much and from a scale of 1-10 it's about a 7
