i was having gas pains in my shoulder and did lots of walking but still that did not work, I read somewhere that someone sat in a rocking chair and rocked it that helped.....so I thought I would try to ride my exercise bike for a few minutes to see if i could get things moving......IT WORKED......just did like 5 min. then walked and heating pad and I was burping and passing gas....LOL

That's good to know. My surgery will be soon and I was afraid of the walking A LOT part. I'm waiting also for knee replacement. I know how important it is to walk. When I had my hysterectomy yrs ago, I was outside walking in the middle of the night b/c gas was so bad.

I have an exercise bike & rocking chair I 'll try it. I'll also try walking as much as possible.

It's hell getting old!

well, because i am not as mobile as some (my walking) ended up being up and down my hall at my home. i found the gas just worked its way out and the shoulder pain (i found helped by not only the pain med) but also doing windmill like movement with my shoulders. i would think every step helps. gas x did not seem to help me in the slightest but every one is so different. i lived for my hot shower on my shoulders and lower back.

you will do fine. you have a great attitude and a positive attitude. and you got me in your corner, only success allowed

Awww thank you , the bike was wonderful !!! I slept great last night . My surgery was yesterday. 9-12-12 this morning im just a tad sore bit thats pretty normal considering I just had surgery and I have not had to use the bike again .
