Trapped Gas!

Okay, what's the deal with all this trapped gas!? OMG! I am so tired of it!

What can I do? My left shoulder hurts almost all the time.

I've tried everything, I walk after my meals, I finally got up to 72ounces yesterday and I was miserable . I took 2 Gas X before bed, didn't help. I just kept tasting the minty taste of it trying to come back up. So I gave up and went back downstairs and got back on the treadmill yet again, still no complete relief . Then I stayed up and cleaned my house till 5:30 am. Back up @ 8am. Up ever since.

So now today I've only had 28-30 ounces tonight and 1 Gas X, an oxycodone and an Excedrine. Still same shoulder pain. But as type seem to be easing up.

What am I doing wrong? ??

Please help. Desperate for answers. Oh and my surgery was 7 days ago.

Please tell me this ends soon.

  • I don't know. Try side stretches and swinging your arms around. Sorry, I never had the gas problem.

  • Agreed, you need to move to get the gas out. I would also try raising and lowering arms as if you are lifting dumbbells. The Gas X likely won't work because the gas isn't in your tummy.

  • Buddy if mine recommends Gas X strips. He said they worked faster than the liquid. I have some and only had a small bout of gas pain took a strip and it relieved it

When you lie down, lie on your left side. That position helps the gas ease up. I'm suffering a bit as well, but the left side thing really helps.
