Shoulder Pain

[nixi 38]

I'm not sure if its just a muscle pull or something serious but this morning after i attempted to get out of bed (after 2 hours of watching tele) i felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder/ neck. Has anyone else experienced this? It hurts when i take a deep breath or bend down and my doc is all the way in india i'd really appreciate any response.

Yes I have---it's gas. You need to walk and walk and take gasX strips that melt in your mouth.

Been walking and had gas x and i'm still in pain. I actually think i have developed a UTI. Do you think it will be ok for me to take antibiotics? Since i've been sleeved 2 months ago i havent had any extra medication i'm a little scared to take antibiotics incase it hurts my sleeve. I'm in so much pain and travelling on wednesday i need to get well soon.

Have you been in touch with your surgeon?

I can only call him tomorrow ( monday) but i did go for a urine test and it turns out that i have a UTI so o have to take antibiotics

I took antibiotics very early post-op, within the first month I think. I just broke the horse pills in half and swallowed them with a little Water. May I suggest adding more water to your daily routine? If you're already susceptible to UTIs, it might help prevent future infections.
