Debilitating shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

Hey I'm more than one year post op and STILL suffering from the same shoulder pain

That I had immed after surgery. Any advice on treating symptoms?. I'm hoping I'm not alone with this but the pain is so debilitating that it wakes me from sleep.

When I take a deep breathe the pain becomes even sharper/more severe. I have taken 7 gas ex (combo of melt away tabs and chewables today so far). I have been unable to find relief. I'm hoping that someone here has a suggestion to treat this ongoing problem

I'm so sorry you're going through that!

I never experienced any of the trapped gas pain from my sleeve, but I had gallbladder surgery many years ago and can still remember how bad that hurts.

If you're experiencing anything close to that level of pain, that is your body telling you something is wrong and you need to see a doctor about it.

I can't imagine how it could be trapped gas by this point, but if you're in that much pain, please go get a professional opinion.

Sounds like if it is that bad you need a doctor's opinion. It's your life! Take care of yourself.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
