chenie69 16 Posted September 13, 2012 i was having gas pains in my shoulder and did lots of walking but still that did not work, I read somewhere that someone sat in a rocking chair and rocked it that helped.....so I thought I would try to ride my exercise bike for a few minutes to see if i could get things moving......IT WORKED......just did like 5 min. then walked and heating pad and I was burping and passing gas....LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted September 13, 2012 That's good to know. My surgery will be soon and I was afraid of the walking A LOT part. I'm waiting also for knee replacement. I know how important it is to walk. When I had my hysterectomy yrs ago, I was outside walking in the middle of the night b/c gas was so bad. I have an exercise bike & rocking chair I 'll try it. I'll also try walking as much as possible. It's hell getting old! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's hell getting old! well, because i am not as mobile as some (my walking) ended up being up and down my hall at my home. i found the gas just worked its way out and the shoulder pain (i found helped by not only the pain med) but also doing windmill like movement with my shoulders. i would think every step helps. gas x did not seem to help me in the slightest but every one is so different. i lived for my hot shower on my shoulders and lower back. you will do fine. you have a great attitude and a positive attitude. and you got me in your corner, only success allowed 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
