Hi. I know my dr said people complain of gas pains which makes them think they're having a heart attack but this pain is every time I yawn or burp it feels the my muscle is stretching an its KILLING ME anyone else?????

its from the anesthesia.... I was warned about it before surgery..... the more you move, the faster it will get better

Really?? Ugh it's so painful...thanks so much

It has nothing to do with the anesthesia. It's from the CO2 they use to inflate the surgical field. Some CO2 gets trapped and left behind after surgery and it irritates the phrenic nerve which starts in the neck and ends in the diaphragm.

Stef anything I can do for it it's killing me???

Walk, Walk, Walk. That's the only thing that helps distribute the gas trapped in the body, eventually it will find it's way OUT. Oh, if you have pain meds, that can help you get through the worst of it. They gave me a small prescription for pain after surgery just in case. I did use it to get rest, I was so uncomfortable at first I had to sleep sitting up.

Get up and get moving and eventually it'll work its way out. Not much else you can do for it unfortunately

All I've been doing is walking ugh I did jus take sum of my Tylenol with coding hope that helps a little thanks

I had the same problem when I had my surgery dec. 31 in Plano, tx.. I hurt soooooo bad in my shoulder, I asked the dr. If they dropped me while I was in surgery..... The nurse laughed and said no, it's because your stomach had so much air in it.. I had to sleep sitting up also!!!!!

What are the gas x strips??

I was told Gas X strips for gas pains and Prevacid twice daily for 3 months for GERD. Between the two I hope I don't have that pain! My doc said the shoulder pain is from gas and that this should lessen the feeling.

What are the gas x strips??

So since pills are hard to swallow they are like the breath strips and the dissolve. The are the best . Run to the local drug store ASAP and grasp them . I attached a picture for u also

Forgot to attach lol

Have you had this pain since the surgery? Left shoulder pain is a very common symptom of a leak. You should phone your doc about it if it's a new pain or if it continues for more than a day or so.
