Left shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

I thought I was going to avoid this pain since I am on day 4. I took a nap today and woke up with the most excutiating pain in my left shoulder and my left arm was a litlte sore. I was told that the CO2 gas was the cause. Anyone else have this pain? If so, how long did it last? And, how do I get rid of it? Walk more? Please help.

Definitely walking more will help. Some say GasX strips help too, but I couldn't really tell if it did. If you have liquid pain killer, you may want to take some. I'm on day 9 now and feeling so much better. It will get better every day. Hang in there!

I had it really bad until about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks out! Walking they say helps, for me it didn't make it any better but I kept on walking walking walking!!! I used a heating pad on my shoulder when I was laying in the chair and that would ease the pain some!

I am on day 9, heating pad, and hot Water on the shower to penetrate the shoulder should. I did not have shoulder pain until my jp drain was removed at my wk checkup. Hope this helps:)

I had a bubble stuck under my collarbone for over 10 days. Stretching my arms and crossing them over my head helped get it to move. The heating pad was a lifesaver.

      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?

      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.
