Key hole surgery

[Gas1883]

Had it done 5 days ago & im really suffering with trapped wind ( not slept since surgery ) , all under shoulders / back , just cannot get comfortable .
We’ve spoke to hospital & they’ve said it can be a after effect of keyhole surgery , we’ve taken there advice of peppermint tea , gaviston , excercise , sister nurse said try & sleep sat upright , but nothing is working , and I’m that tired , not even my n pain killers now for surgery , just the trapped wind , lack of sleep .
Has anyone had keyhole & had this issue , any other suggestions ? , is it long term ? , thankyou

What was the survey for? Maybe more relevant than the actual laparoscopy itself.

Removal of kidney tumour .

Sorry not replied earlier , been back to hospital & they’ve confirmed that pain I’m suffering from is trapped wind / gas related , but doctor / consultant believes I’ve also a trapped nerve , never had one before surgery so either from surgery or subsequent days in hospital , so loads of pain killers , and surprisingly I fell asleep in car on way back from hospital , so wife just drove round for a hour when we got back ( wife said it was like our little one when she wouldn’t go asleep , drive in car ) , now going out & sitting in car & I am nodding off for hour / two which is a bit of relief .
Again thanks
