Gas pain in shoulder



Recommended Posts

Hello. I was wondering how long people had gas pains for? I have a terrible shoulder pain due to gas pain, I was wondering how much longer it might last? Thanks :)

How long has it been since your surgery? I had shoulder pain for about a week.. I used a heating pad and liquid Tylenol for the pain.. occasionally when I eat too fast or a little too much I get a pain in the shoulder but not as much as right after surgery... keep moving and definitely drink.. You will feel much better soon...

I had surgery on Monday. The pain comes and goes. I am trying to walk when I feel it but it actually feels worse when I walk. Maybe I will try a heating pad, thanks!

I had gas for about a week. My problem is I am extremely nauseated still a week out.

The pain is from the leftover CO2. Some doctors told me after the fact that I could have positioned pillows under my hips while laying on my back to try and displace the leftover gas from the phrenic nerve which is around the stomach. The pain is actually referring up into the shoulder area. I actually put ice on my shoulder. Moving does help the leftover gas dissipate quicker. In also saw where it is recommended to lay on your side and pull your knees up as close to your chest as possible for 5-15 mins to try and get relief. I asked the office what I could do and they said gas-x but the only way that would have helped would have been if it was intestinal gas, and this isn't. It's that left over CO2 from the lap-

I had stomach grumbling. I took it as a sign I was hungry! Pretty much my clear liquid days. At 4. 5 weeks out, I will Occasionally have it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
