jhbk2008 5 Posted August 11, 2012 So as I'm making my transition to eating some pureeds I'm running into a new physical difference I hadn't discovered until now. It's like my body doesn't know how to hiccup anymore. I go into this weird burp like stance and then I have this pain and have to brace myself for this newfound hiccup?! Anyone else out there feeling as silly as I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nimm 31 Posted August 11, 2012 You know, I had wondered about this. When I was in the hospital walking around, I would get the hiccups like CRAZY. And they hurt, tons. Now that I'm home, and I feel like I have something coming on I kind of... brace myself for it. I know that hiccups are more on the side of 'spontaneous' so maybe what I'm thinking of is burping, but even when I had them (for two flippin' hours straight) they did feel weird. I definitely hear you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8rLuv4Me 19 Posted August 21, 2012 Mine hurt in my left upper shoulder....someone described it as gas that has settled there. Hurts like the Devil! I just want to know when it will leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted August 21, 2012 Yes, I to got the dreaded "ultra hiccups", they would be so loud and intense that I would actually tense up by back and arms and cause myself a lot of pain. They do settle down a little although I've had one or two bouts in the last 6 months or so. Gr8rlove4me, sorry but this is NOT the "gas settling" in your arm. All the gas that was pumped into your abdomen during surgery was removed or adsorbed din a matter of a few hours, now the IRRITATION from the gas and being stretched all out by being pumped up - YES - that can have lingering effects for days or even weeks afterwards. Warm compresses and activity help alleviate it but TIME is what really does the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
