Curious, pain from stress

[Jess55 97]

I am 10 weeks put or so. I haven't had the left shoulder pain in quite some time. Yesterday I made a mistake at work and I was really upset about it and stressed out. All the sudden my left shoulder started bothering me. It felt like the same kind of pain/irritation that I had post op from the gas. After I stopped worrying the pain went away.

I was just curious if anyone else had the shoulder pain cone back from stress?

The pain you had in your shoulders was from the gas that they used to "blow you up" when they did the surgery, so I don't know how it could be related but stress can do strange things.

This could be phrenic nerve pain. If you look at diagrams of where the diaphragm is located and then look at its function, it's not hard to understand why tensing of muscles in the torso might cause the band to come in contact with the diaphragm in stressful conditions, from overeating or even just the position of the body.

I have found that stress causes my fibromyalgia pain to increase and believe it can also trigger the phrenic nerve pain through the fibro. I try to keep my life stress low and have found that it really helps. It is easier said than done, but I try not to sweat the small stuff and do everything in my power to live a low stress life.

I am noticing stress causing some band related issues.
