Almost 2yrs and 100 lbs with neck and shoulder pain

[tutornmom 1]

Hi,

I don't post very often. I usually just read but I have a couple of things going on and I can't find any posts with information about them so I am seeing if I get some response.

I am having neck and shoulder pain. I see a chiropractor regularly. I exercise. I do sit at a desk a great deal for work but this is more than your normal fatigue. I have had an MRI of my neck and they just saw mild degeneration which would be normal.

My chiropractor says that my body is having to adjust to my constantly changing weight. I am wondering if it could be related to everything hanging in front. I would love to hear if you have had similar problems. What I can do? What I need to ask the doctors? I need some relief and I am not able to take n-saids (arthritis medicine) and really have to limit the amount of tylenol I take.

Thanks!

I am new to this site and just found your post. I am going thru the exact same problems. Fatigue, neck and left shoulder pain, severe headaches. I have talked to both my regular doctor, my lapband doctor, and now I am seeing a neurogolist. I have been diagonsed with Migraines, tension headaches and over the counter med headaches. The neurogolist is also a OMT, Osteopathic Manipulative Therapist. Which means she hits all the pressure points to alleivate tension and she has also said I have trapped air in the shoulder area, which she has advised she can get out. I thought my problem was my front top half also but I have lost alot of weight especially in the front so I am leaning towards just basic tension. I too sit at a desk for 10 hours a day. But I just wanted to let you know what I have gone thru and what I have found out. I hope this helps some.

I have the same thing. Your chiropractor should be able to tell you what stretches to do with your neck while at your desk, they make a HUGE difference.

After several adjustments, I have finally gotten past the constant shoulder pain. I am taking a Migraine prevention medicine again but I am about to go on a glutten and casein free diet to see if that will help with the Migraines and some other issues. I need to be exercising more and I know that would help as well! I still love my band!

It seems like I heard another former bandster mention this. When I see her again I will ask her about it and try to post if it's relevent.
