Always Actnup 7 Posted March 11, 2012 Hello everyone got sleeve march 7, and now I have pain in my shoulders....should I be worried or just wait to see if it pass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Kelley 11 Posted March 11, 2012 Walk Walk Walk! After surgery my shoulders hurt so bad I honestly thought that they were dislocated. Walking did help...but you just have to get all the gas moving out. Walking has helped me so much. I just had surgery the 8th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberated Sleeve 148 Posted March 11, 2012 Yes, walk walk walk! Doctors say the pain is the gas! I also used GAS X strips. Walk every chance you get even if just once or twice around the hallway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveDreamer 383 Posted March 11, 2012 Get some chewable Gas X or strips and walk! It is gas that had been put into you to expand during surgery, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted March 11, 2012 My shoulders really hurt, too. I found that a heating pad on them really helped. Turn it up high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shemy-away 83 Posted March 11, 2012 My shoulders really hurt, too. I found that a heating pad on them really helped. Turn it up high. Yes, heating pad was a lifesaver in the hospital! I second the gas x strips and walking. I have to walk when I drink anything to help it go down smoother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamthin 7 Posted March 11, 2012 I thought the gas only last a few days. I haven't been sleeved yet but that's what I've been coming across. Any idea how long the gas pain lasts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shemy-away 83 Posted March 11, 2012 I'm 5 dpo and I'm still having some gas, just not as much. I have the most when I'm drinking and right after I finish. But my gas pains were not as bad as some of the others I read about. I felt most of it in my chest but didn't get the refered pain to my shoulders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabrina140 33 Posted March 11, 2012 I thought the gas only last a few days. I haven't been sleeved yet but that's what I've been coming across. Any idea how long the gas pain lasts? Its different for all. I was bracing myself for the gas pain, but was lucky and had none. You just never know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
