Left shoulder pain when running



Recommended Posts

Hi, has anyone experience left shoulder pain while running? It feels like the pain I would sometimes get when I eat too much...and I know that could hurt your band. I wonder if I can keep running without hurting something? Before the band, I would get pain in my left side sometimes when I started to run. Could if be the same kind of pain??

I am 10 months banded and about 2 - 9 months I got the left shoulder gas pain during a big workout spinning, running etc Now in month 10 it seems to happen less and less....... again this is just my experience :)

Are you still overweight....have a lot of excess skin, fat layers?

Although I tried, I could not handle running untill I dropped about 80 pounds, and a lot of the sagging skin......the pounding I took was unbearable....

Running is one of the exercises that will work the entire body from head to toe...including every joint.

Thanks for your input everyone! Got on the cross-trainer today for 40 minutes - no pain! Maybe I just overdid it trying yo run.

hi, i had my pre surgery consult with dr yesterday. i asked him about this type pain as i've read others talk about it. he said a few of his patients have mentioned it in conjunction with over eating. he'd not heard them complain of it in exercise and not as a chronic ongoing pain. i was relieved to hear that, walking, swimming and hiking have become a part of my life and if the band would bring pain to these activities i'd have to seriously reconsider my decision to move forward with surgery.

is this becoming a chronic thing or only occasional?

I do all of the things you've mentioned and only have shoulder pain from preexisting issues. I have experienced the same shoulder pain in relation to eating or being hungry, and once when I was running up Mt. Kilington at a recent Spartan Championship- but it soon went away with some Water and stretching. Learning some stretches to help is good, but sometimes it is nerve pain from your stomach appearing in your shoulder.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
