How many of you still have shoulder pain?



Recommended Posts

When I go for my fill on the 20th I will ask them about my Gallbladder. I would love to get this pain taken care of. I didnt know so many people had the same thing going on with them. I know that it is the nerve thing for me also. Because I can feel and hear air moving around in there when I lay down because it is hurting. So I just wonder why it is getting caught in there. I will let you guys know what my Dr says. Thanks guys.

Went to Water aerobics today,hoping it might help my left shoulder/arm pain, but it didn't. It has hurt nonstop until I've almost gone to teh ER except I have no insurance and I know they cant do anything anyway. Gonna call my surgeon Monday,,I cant go on like this much longer.It hurts regardless of whether I've eaten or not, whether I'm standing, sitting, laying down.

I read online somewhere that left shoulder pain is sometimes chronic-meaning it never goes away. I have it sometimes in the morning, but it goes away during the day. I also read it has something to do with the diaphram, but it's felt in the left shoulder.

I was with my friend as she had surgery, I was even in the OR so I had the opportunity to ask questions.

Left shoulder pain (as all nurses know) is common for gallbladder. With my friend she could actually see the muscles in her gut contracting with each spasm of pain. It was worse with her periods.

If you have lost weight quickly that is another symptom of gallbladder. I realize I am not telling you anything you don't already know, just throwing it out anyway.

You have my phone number. If there is anything I can do please call me.

With that said, your pain is not typical of gallbladder pain but!!! With gallbladder anything goes. It's weird pain and unique to everyone.

Not claiming I think it is gallbladder, just stuff to consider.

So what does the diaphram do to cause this referred pain? I am not all that up on body parts so I don't really get what the band does to the diaphram

to cause this.

Thanks bubble! you are always so informative!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
