shoulder pain

coyotegirl · February 16, 2005

I had my second fill today. I am now up to 6.5cc's. Everything was fine but Dr. couldn't find the port in his office so I have many pin pricks in me right now. We went down to amblitory surgery and put me under a flo scope (don't know how to spell it) and there it was. This time I was laying down so it was much easier. It was fun watching the pictures, He first put me at 7cc's then had me drink some chalky stuff there was too much restriction so he took out some and it all went down just fine. I say it!!!!!!!!!

But for the reason I am posting tonight is>>>>Did anyone have shoulder pain after. I was fine then when driving home (3 hrs) It started. My left shoulder is hurting pertty bad. I have a Icey hot patch on now and have taken liquid tylenol. Anyone else have this??:paranoid

Very good loss, Terri. If you're losing, why did he do a fill?? Usually the criteria is if you ARE NOT losing.. hmm..

Shoulder pain after a fill is something I'm not sure I've ever experienced or heard of, but with that aggressive a fill, who knows? I'd certainly let him know if it doesn't subside pretty quickly.

I had NO restristion before the new fill. I was dieting like I have done soooo many times before. I know I can diet and lose weight but I can't seem to keep it up for long. The band it my new tool for this.

It would be to your advantage to know the brand and size of your band. Glad you got a fill. I hope it's working well for you now.

Sorry to hear all your pin pricks. Cannot add to the sholder pain I have never heard of that but be sure to call your Doc if the pain does not go away as Leatha says.

My shoulder is better today. Just a little twing every now and then. I am on a liquid diet for 2 days. It has been fine and I am not at all hungrey so I guess the fill worked. I am going to go easy when I can eat again. Maybe eat mushy stuff for a day or so.

Thank you so much for your support.
