Terrible neck/shoulder pain at 2 WKs post -- still gas?



Recommended Posts

I'm having worse shoulder and neck pain now than in the days after surgery. It's right across the top back of my shoulders and into my neck. Is this still gas or not?

I've been taking at least one good walk a day and working. I'm an artist, so I work at home making things and shipping. I do everything myself except lifting heavy packages. I started working on easy small stuff about 4days after returning home.

Do you think this pain is caused by gas or by over-doing it with work? I had gas after a c-section but I don't recall it lasting this long.

Thanks.

I also had this problem it was weird because I didn't have it right after surgery but within 4 to 5 days out it started up. It did go away but I had to take some Tylenol even early out for the pain.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
