Pain question - is this possible?

[Cherry 71]

I'm 3 wks post op today. When I came home from hospital, I had that shoulder problem where the gas was causing me terrible pain. After 1 week of arm exercises, it was gone - ALL GONE

Today, at 3 wks post op, I am having same awful pain once again in same shoulder. Is it possible this is still gas pain 3 full weeks later (when I had no pain for past 2 weeks)?

Thanks

Could be. I was lucky and didn't get the shoulder pain, but the gas in my tummy was horrible. 4 weeks out I started really walking the treadmill and it started coming out LOL had to cut that gym visit short but i started to feel so much better

If the pain is in the left shoulder, as the gas does like to travel up to the left, it could also be your stomach which is on the left side under the rib cage. I would contact the nurse or your doctor to make sure there isn't more going on.

Yes, it is my left shoulder again. I have an apt on Friday so will definitely ask. It seems so strange to think this is more gas, but anything is possible!

I would get the same pain off and on for a few months after surgery sometime it would happen if I ate to fast or drank to quick like it made a new air bubble I would tap it as if I was burping a baby and it seemed to help . seems weird but I may help

Since we are speaking of pain.... I'm having pain since yesterday after supper, in my upper left quadrant. Called drs. Nurse and said since I had a bread for the first time yesterday at supper, she feels it got "hung up" in the pouch. Said it probably wasn't ready for it. Told me to do liquids for 2 days. It's really sore there I sure hope she's right. Also said it will go down or come up. I don't feel sick to my stomach at all . I had rny on march 25. Anyone experience this?

I had swellibg of the pouch in the beginning and eating foods that make the pouch expand a bit does it.

Oh crap you mean I expanded this thing with one piece of bread! That was on the list!

I'm not even suppose to have regular bread till I'm at least 6 months out. I can have toast but that's as far as they want me to go. They said bread can get stuck unless you eat tiny tiny bites at a time and chew the heck out of it.
