Fabtastic 6 Posted December 3, 2017 My Surg was 11/28... I expected to have gas pain last 2-4 days! It seems to be just as bad as day one & can get intense enough to stop me in my tracts, is this the norm? Also am on a blood thinner for 10days, I am experiencing shortness of breath from time to time... is this due to the blood thinner, or a symptom others experienced???Any & all info is appreciated!!!

YummyMummy303 123 Posted December 3, 2017 I’m in day 3 and I don’t have gas pain in my shoulders, but it’s inside me. I feel like I’m constantly grumbling around in there ready to burp or hiccup after any sip. I need to move around more I think. Are you walking around?

Been walking a lot ..... put heating pad on my shoulders this morning, seem to relieve things ... but was all back within an hour!!!I spoke with a nurse in the family this eve & she said the blood thinner I am taking can cause the shortness of breath!!! 1 YummyMummy303 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Light and lively 1 Posted December 3, 2017 Hi, My surgery was on 11/25. I had very bad gas pain in my left shoulder for 2 days. The downward dog yoga pose helped for obvious reasons. I also did a dose of milk of mag and a fleets suppository which reliever it completely. Hope this helps. 1 Fabtastic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsJustMeToo 42 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Sleeved the same day and also have some residual pressure/pain in my left shoulder. I've been using a heating pad, icy hot, deep massage, yoga, and lifting some light weights. It's not making it go away, but it's making it more manageable.

lorig863 3 Posted December 4, 2017 I’m 5 days out and still have the grumbling and sometimes there is a pain right under my sternum that stops me from doing anything until I move around. I find that moving and walking helps me with all that. Sitting too long also makes me very uncomfortable. 1 Fabtastic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
