Pain

[LadyC125 3]

I'm 12days out, been doing good up until today, having pain in my left back shoulder blade area, I'm thinking it's gas, took gas-x but still no relief. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this, just hoping it's not a leak. Very uncomfortable......

Did your surgeon do post op leak tests? Are you still on liquids?

If you also have shortening of breath, heart palpations or fever too thats totally sign of a leak.

Try putting a hot compress on the spot. It's probably gas and walk more it will move and it gets easier.

I'm still on liquids and I don't have any other symptoms that you mention and thanks I will try the warm compress. I start puree on Monday, kind of scared...

Definitely a warm compress and walking (not at the same time ) Those gas pains can be horrible at times.
