Shoulder Pain



Recommended Posts

I have had surgery twice and both times it came with shoulder pain. It's totally normal. I stopped taking my pain meds the day of surgery because I was violently throwing up everything I drank.

Today 90% of shoulder pain gone! But.... I am very sore like I did a 100 sit ups. I am sure it's all part of the healing process. Hope ya'll found some relief the last few days :)

Is anyone having pain in their left side? I'm not sure where my port is and I don't like poking around my incisions (weak stomach with cuts, blood :wacko: ), so this may be why my side hurts, but it could be gas too. My shoulder hurts, but Aleve helps with this. I have been taking Gas X strips regularly and they sort of help.

I have the same problem as anume. I am almost six months post op and still get wicked left shoulder pain from time to time. It usually lasts 10-15 mins and nothing relieves the pain-except time. It is the result of eating too quickly/too much. In my case, I don't get the sensation until a few minutes after I've eaten. So if this happens to you down the road, you'll know why.

I'm 5 days on from my surgery and tonight I got this awful pain where i think my band is. Below my ribs on the left? It feels like its knocking against something or rubbing. I am constipated and was worried I put a little too much effort in in the bathroom. I have taken some pain killers, enough to usually numb everything but every time I move it hurts. It's 2:30am in Aus and I'm trying to decide if I should page my surgeon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
