Shoulder Pain



Recommended Posts

I have had surgery twice and both times it came with shoulder pain. It's totally normal. I stopped taking my pain meds the day of surgery because I was violently throwing up everything I drank.

Today 90% of shoulder pain gone! But.... I am very sore like I did a 100 sit ups. I am sure it's all part of the healing process. Hope ya'll found some relief the last few days :)

Is anyone having pain in their left side? I'm not sure where my port is and I don't like poking around my incisions (weak stomach with cuts, blood :wacko: ), so this may be why my side hurts, but it could be gas too. My shoulder hurts, but Aleve helps with this. I have been taking Gas X strips regularly and they sort of help.

I have the same problem as anume. I am almost six months post op and still get wicked left shoulder pain from time to time. It usually lasts 10-15 mins and nothing relieves the pain-except time. It is the result of eating too quickly/too much. In my case, I don't get the sensation until a few minutes after I've eaten. So if this happens to you down the road, you'll know why.

Thank you for letting me know the cause of this! It has been driving me crazy!

I'm 5 days on from my surgery and tonight I got this awful pain where i think my band is. Below my ribs on the left? It feels like its knocking against something or rubbing. I am constipated and was worried I put a little too much effort in in the bathroom. I have taken some pain killers, enough to usually numb everything but every time I move it hurts. It's 2:30am in Aus and I'm trying to decide if I should page my surgeon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
