12 weeks post op with new issue



Recommended Posts

I am 12 weeks post of and doing well. No complications. This past week I started developing gas pains in my shoulder when I eat and they are PAINFUL. I experienced these directly after surgery but now they are back 3 months later but only when i eat. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm still pre-op but do you still have your gall bladder?

Are you on a NSAID? My doctor prescribed a NSAID to be taken for 30 days after surgery. 3 days after I completed the rx I started having the pain in the shoulder, like you are describing. He has put me back to the prescription until I feel I don't need it any more.

Yes, could be your gallbladder. There is a med you can take (bear liver) to prevent stones, and I guess the shock of your gallbladder not having enough to do... check with your MD.

Call your doctor on this one instead of getting medical advice from us!
