Skittle 26 Posted September 20, 2012 6 weeks post op. have been fighting a sinus infection for the past month.. Still coughing like crazy and extremely hard to the point of pulling muscles in my side and throwing up. Nausea every day mostly mornings but does linger into afternoons especially when coughing a lot. And for the last 3 days my shoulders have hurt like the did when I first got out of sugery.. I'm thinking gas pains again but I don't know.. Anyone else revisit the gas pains several weeks out? I'm going to doc in AM so will ask then but was hoping I'm not alone... It's been a very very tough 6 weeks for me. Sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation.. iPhone's are not the easiest word entry devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notime 340 Posted September 20, 2012 Sorry to hear about your setback. Let us know what your doctor says and prescribes. I am curious as to what medicines are safe for the sleeve. My surgeon said to take Tylenol Sinus for sinus problems, but I think there must be safe alternatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skittle 26 Posted September 20, 2012 I went back to surgeon today. They were more concerned about the nausea and coughing than the shoulder pain. She did say that it was too far from surgery to have anything to do with that, however. They also think the coughing is what is causing the nausea and vomiting.. Ugh this is miserable!! I did go to my pcp also today and they prescribed cough meds with codeine.. Hopefully it will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
