I had surgery on the 13th and doing well except for the spasms.  I am following the protocol which helps some but does not take them away totally.  Anybody know how long these last

Ok so your surgery was like 2 days ago?  I'd call the doctor.  If it doesn't feel right it probably isn't.  Good luck.

You can't take care of them, if you don't take care of you!!

I had them starting the first night Monday but I can't remember having them during the weekend.  So about 5 days.  I had them mostly at night.

Here's my two tips to get them to settle.  Take a few deep breaths.  Get up and walk around your house a bit.

For me they also lessened some each day with night 2&3 being a bit hard as it'd wake me up.

Oh one more... I did chew up a single tums if they were not responding to the deep breathing or walking.  I'm on pepsid but per the husbands distressed plea I tried a tums and I don't know if it helped but between the three I could always get them to settle down.

I had surgery on the 13th too and Im only getting spasms when I take sips of fluids. clear warm (tea and broth) is better than cold anything.

I was told it's normal and gets better a bit day by day.
