Tingling between shoulderblades?

[bethm 0]

Hi! Had surgery on December 11th.. (16 days ago). Nothing really remarkable has happened. But today any time I "eat" (mushies and right now pureed french onion soup) I get this tingly feeling between my shoulderblades. Anyone else get this? It's kinda weird. It's mostly right inside my left shoulderblade.

That is the same place I had my gas pain the first few days after surgery, it was initally very intense, but has become just tingly and I just got it again after having my broth tonight. I am assuming it is gas from eating. Did you have gas pain right after surgery?

Nope..no gas pain at all and this is weird.. it's uncomfortable not painful.

the tingling between the shoulder blades sounds like what my doctor told me expect with gas. When I met with one of the nurses for a pre-op class she showed me this picture of how they get rid of gas at the hospital just in case they needed to do it to me while i was still out of it. they make you lay on your belly and keep your head and shoulders down and put your backside in the air....lol i can't imagine how it looks, but i guess it's supposed to work! :thumbup:
