looks like you just had surgery,,, I was good in the beginning between pain meds and nitetime pain relievers,,,,,,but after a year ? ,,,,, my doc looks at me like he's never heard this before , but does say it's referral pain,,,,,,,but YES,, if my husband massages the area for me it does feel better ,, and so does a heat pad ,,,,,,,,, So I'm at a loss....... like I said,, just like a crying baby , you just keep trying different approaches til one works. The pain is mostly gone right now,,,, and my stomach is growling,,, I think anything that irritates the actual pouch, makes it move closer to the diaphram and then ,,,pain,,,

well,, I guess it's a good indicator that if I ever DO have a heart attack,, I'll have pain to alert me ! ,, ( is that a positive ? :biggrin: )

I've been reading everyones reply and I was just thinking perhaps its just gas....this diet and the surgery can produce some serious gas in the body! :biggrin: I've had some gas that will make you feel like your gonna have a heart attack! Did your doctor send you home with a prescription for gas? Some times gas can travel into the shoulder as well....just a thought!

I remember that awful pain.

The thing that got rid of my pain was a huge ice pack that I purchased from a chiropractor for $12.00.

My dr. told me that most people use a heating pad because it helps a little but the trick is ice. He said the heating pad only mask the problem the ice gets rid of the problem. I used it constantly and it did go away.

Good to know - I'll have to try ice next time
