thenewandbestme 81 Posted November 19, 2015 Okay, what's the deal with all this trapped gas!? OMG! I am so tired of it! What can I do? My left shoulder hurts almost all the time. I've tried everything, I walk after my meals, I finally got up to 72ounces yesterday and I was miserable . I took 2 Gas X before bed, didn't help. I just kept tasting the minty taste of it trying to come back up. So I gave up and went back downstairs and got back on the treadmill yet again, still no complete relief . Then I stayed up and cleaned my house till 5:30 am. Back up @ 8am. Up ever since. So now today I've only had 28-30 ounces tonight and 1 Gas X, an oxycodone and an Excedrine. Still same shoulder pain. But as type seem to be easing up. What am I doing wrong? ?? Please help. Desperate for answers. Oh and my surgery was 7 days ago. Please tell me this ends soon.

thenewandbestme 81 Posted November 19, 2015 Oh and I'm taking tiny sips too. I just want to sleep through the night without gas pain, or pain of any kind. Is that too much to ask ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magtart 603 Posted November 19, 2015 I don't know. Try side stretches and swinging your arms around. Sorry, I never had the gas problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 19, 2015 I don't know. Try side stretches and swinging your arms around. Sorry, I never had the gas problem. Agreed, you need to move to get the gas out. I would also try raising and lowering arms as if you are lifting dumbbells. The Gas X likely won't work because the gas isn't in your tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smcbee79 40 Posted November 19, 2015 Buddy if mine recommends Gas X strips. He said they worked faster than the liquid. I have some and only had a small bout of gas pain took a strip and it relieved it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thenewandbestme 81 Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks, I used dumbbells too and moved my arms a lot too. But the side bends are new. Definitely going to try. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JourneyInside 9 Posted November 22, 2015 When you lie down, lie on your left side. That position helps the gas ease up. I'm suffering a bit as well, but the left side thing really helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
