I just keep getting one inflamation or another. No MRI's, x-rays or anything have been done at all. Nobody thought it was serious enough. Duh! Rearended by a car going that fast and totally my car and they didn't think I had any serious injuries...Last friday my neck had another flare up and I hadn't been able to move that all that day but it went away by saturday. 2 days later I get this shoulder problem. I haven't been to a chiropractor (though I found out that is what Jack does for a living) but have gotten massage therapy since the accident. I've litterally done nothing but sleep, put ice on my shoulder, eat, go potty and take pain pills pretty much since monday. I called in today to see if I can get another pain killer. I have always taken vicodin just fine but the last few days it has maken me mega sick. I'm on here now just because I'm waiting for another pill to kick in. If I stayed on after that I would be sick again. I couldn't believe that jack ass doctor tried to tell me it wasn't accident related. Things like this do happen to house keepers but my schedule has been lighter than ever, I've been doing this job for 12 years and have NEVER had anything like this ever. I hadn't even worked the 3 days prior to the onset of this. AND THEN when I was in urgent care I had to correct the nurse because she had marked down the wrong shoulder, then I had to listen to them debate about another patient who was getting sent for x-ray about what arm they wanted pictures of, they had marked the wrong arm for her too! That place was absolutely ridiculous. They weren't even at a busy period because I had gone down at 7 in the morning and was one of the only few patients there. Those kinds of mistakes are hideous. Anyway thanks for all the love folks. Best wishes, Teresa

Teresa - I'm sorry you are hurting so bad. Hopefully they can get you some relief soon. You might want to consider an MRI to see if you have damaged anything in there.

Teresa, please hang in there and get some answers! I don't know if there is a time factor that you have to work with, before they can close your case. But this sounds like it's going from bad to worse for you. And you shouldn't have to just live in pain without someone running specific tests (MRI or whatever) to find out what's going on.

      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.

        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!
