Gaassssssss pain! Haha. It's the worst! But when they pump you up with gas while they're working, sometimes the remaining gas moves into your joints and causes pressure and discomfort.

Thank you!! Yes I guess that does make sense!

Thank you! I was hoping it would be gone soon! Its not really a constant pain but when it comes on its no fun! I was sleeved 12/20.

I had major pains in my shoulder and back area. I did find walking helped they lasted about a week.

I have pain in my shoulder area, like a pinching pain...it's hard trying to sleep because when I lay down the burping is constant and it's uncomfortable laying on either side and my back....I'm scared to try to sleep on my stomach. On top of that, I keep having the hiccups, which is painful....I don't know what to do...I can't just stand up, sit up and walk all day...so desperate in need of a nap....should I be worried or try some gasx?

should I be worried or try some gasx?

Im four days out and gas-x strips are my current best friends. Helped with the burps/hiccups/intestinal gas/shoulder pain.

I forgot to add that it's uncomfortable trying to take adeep breath

Try putting a heating pad on it as well..that helped my shoulder pain I also leaned forward and held on to a chair with the other arm and would swing the painful one back and forth.

I treated it like a softball injury...lol!
