It is gas pain. Pain meds increase the chance of slowing digestion causing other problems. Heating pad, salon pas patch, try percussion. Have someone give u cupped pats on that area. That will help body breakdown and release trapped gas in shoulder & back area. Good luck!!

Xnafnp, congratulations... You look amazing. Thank you for being honest and stating it takes hard work. I feel inspired!

Congrats!!!! Go very, very slow on the liquids. You may want to take more. It is different for everyone. Your body will tell what it can take. Trust me avoid the pain. Key word....."SLOW"
