Hi Brian - yes, it is in the area of the PEG and the spasms will hit at any time - especially when he has to get up from the couch or out of bed - seems as tho any movement will trigger it which concerns me as i dont like to see my husband in ANY pain ( and he has a high tolerance to pain!!), i have been cruising the forum for info and have seen that others havent just "snapped" back after a day or two. i am planning on calling the doc and let them know so that maybe they can check it out to see if something isnt quite right. it is my understanding that there should be no discomfort after the initial shock of having it put in and a few days to recover from that shock. also, any words of wisdom on the subject of constipation which seems to be yet another issue in the past day or two??
