Its not as crazy as you think. Stuff presses on stuff within our body and gives us radiating pain. Remember that song the "knee bone connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to the ankle bone.....and so on."

They should have a song like that for the nervous system.Ive done a bit o readin, but Im no doctor. I know that I have a deformity in my neck that I was born with, and it involves two discs being fused together invitro. When my low back acts up, and there is pain just as often and at the same time my neck also acts up and is in pain. Other time my neck refers the pain down my arm/s.

Theres something called the "sympathetic nervous system", and I think therein may lay the problem. If your intestines are pressing directly on a nerve when full ,OR on something else that then presses on a nerve, it could cause "Referred pain" to the neck area , or just about anywhere. But given the sympathetic nervous system, odds are its referred with the realm of this in the context of neck vs lower body issues. this is probably very confusing, and not easy to briefly explain.

I had a pain one time, and it felt as if it was in my right ovary, and throbbed something fierce. Oddly when the Physician pressed on the very spot where the pain was, I could feel another pain clear over around my vagina,colon area.Referred pain, he said.

Bone and nerves require orthopedic doctors and then neurologists. stomach and intestines are more gastro- intestinal.

PCP doctors basically help you rule out which drs, should be seen and in what order.

You could talk to your pcp. Or if you already have a GI doctor and/or surgeon, ya might want to talk with the one youve got already. Its up to you and how much money you have to be referred and referred again, etc. etc., if ya get my drift. Good luck, and I hope you get it fixed. Pain sucks! Sincerely, Sandy

Had an unfill today just 1/4cc out. The pinch nerve feeling between shoulder blades and neck has subsided. Could this have anything to do with the vagus nerve and the band restriction? I all ready feel like a million bucks with that small unfill....has been 5 hours since unfill.

I was told that its over eating. It's similar to the trapped wind pain after surgery. I also get this if I eat bread. Hence I don't eat bread any longer. If you eat really slowly you can usually get an indication of the pain starting and you'll usually find your no longer hungry and its time to stop x

I have this and it's very helpful in letting me know when I've eaten enough.

Dr said its a nerve the LB presses against and it's wise to listen to it.

Thanks Maddysgram!

It's funny I never got the unbelievable shoulder gas pain after surgery, that everyone talks about. But when I'm eating and get a twinge, do not take another bite or time for heating pad.lol

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
