Shoulder Pain



Recommended Posts

OK...November Nymphs I have a question. I am still experiencing left shoulder pain. Now, I can't seem to figure it out because it comes and goes. Most of the time it happens when I am sitting and standing actually alleviates the pain. Now, I have read that shoulder pain could mean you are full but my pain is happening not when I am eating.

So is anyone having the same issue? Would love to hear from you. I did talk with my surgeon who indicated that it is possible that the band is sitting on the diaphram (nerve) that goes to the shoulder. I gotta tell you though it feels like I have a toothache and I have had to take pain meds more than once for it.

I hope it is not a permanent issue because I think I will have cut it off. LOL:omg:

I still get a twinge of pain in my left shoulder. It's barely noticeable but I'm aware of it. I think I read that some people have it for months or even longer. It's not gas -- it's referred pain. The nerves in the vicinity of the stomach stretch up to the shoulder so we're feeling in the shoulder pain from when they messed with our stomachs, if that makes sense. :)

Hollyberries, when was your surgery again? I had the same pain on and off I'd say for a month after surgery. Mine would happen when I was driving a lot and hungry, the combination - but I think it was mostly the sitting and driving. I'm not sure why it happened only in the car, but there you go. Now that I'm thinking of it, it hasn't happened in a while, but I have heard some people having it for a long time. It's awful, isn't it?

Holy smoke! When it comes on it is completely out of the blue. Wish there was some rhyme or reason to it. Funny things is it comes on when I have to go workout (LOL).

Hello,

I too have been having a lot of shoulder pain, almost daily since surgery. I asked my doc about it last night and he asked if i had other symptoms, i said no, so he suggested we could take look under florospocy, but i said i will wait it out...but yeah, it comes and goes with no rhyme or reason, although mostly when i am hungery...It is annoying!!!!

I also still get that pain ocassionally. It isn't too bad. It is actually more annoying than painful. I hope it stops soon.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
