How many of you still have shoulder pain?



Recommended Posts

When I go for my fill on the 20th I will ask them about my Gallbladder. I would love to get this pain taken care of. I didnt know so many people had the same thing going on with them. I know that it is the nerve thing for me also. Because I can feel and hear air moving around in there when I lay down because it is hurting. So I just wonder why it is getting caught in there. I will let you guys know what my Dr says. Thanks guys.

Went to Water aerobics today,hoping it might help my left shoulder/arm pain, but it didn't. It has hurt nonstop until I've almost gone to teh ER except I have no insurance and I know they cant do anything anyway. Gonna call my surgeon Monday,,I cant go on like this much longer.It hurts regardless of whether I've eaten or not, whether I'm standing, sitting, laying down.

I read online somewhere that left shoulder pain is sometimes chronic-meaning it never goes away. I have it sometimes in the morning, but it goes away during the day. I also read it has something to do with the diaphram, but it's felt in the left shoulder.

I was with my friend as she had surgery, I was even in the OR so I had the opportunity to ask questions.

Left shoulder pain (as all nurses know) is common for gallbladder. With my friend she could actually see the muscles in her gut contracting with each spasm of pain. It was worse with her periods.

If you have lost weight quickly that is another symptom of gallbladder. I realize I am not telling you anything you don't already know, just throwing it out anyway.

You have my phone number. If there is anything I can do please call me.

With that said, your pain is not typical of gallbladder pain but!!! With gallbladder anything goes. It's weird pain and unique to everyone.

Not claiming I think it is gallbladder, just stuff to consider.

So what does the diaphram do to cause this referred pain? I am not all that up on body parts so I don't really get what the band does to the diaphram

to cause this.

Thanks bubble! you are always so informative!

      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.
