fionasmom

My doc said it is phrenic nerve pain, caused by irritation to the diaphragm. The nerve travels up to the shoulder. I am walking around a lot and it seems slightly better. Thanks for the info!

I am new to this forum. I was banded on 8/15/12. I have had left shoulder pain since the surgery. It was excruciating yesterday. I actually have been taking my pain med for only that. I spoke with my Doctor about it at my 1 week visit, and she said it will go away. I am also using a heating pad, but no relief. Any suggestions?
