Debilitating shoulder pain

Hey I'm more than one year post op and STILL suffering from the same shoulder pain

That I had immed after surgery. Any advice on treating symptoms?. I'm hoping I'm not alone with this but the pain is so debilitating that it wakes me from sleep.

When I take a deep breathe the pain becomes even sharper/more severe. I have taken 7 gas ex (combo of melt away tabs and chewables today so far). I have been unable to find relief. I'm hoping that someone here has a suggestion to treat this ongoing problem

I'm so sorry you're going through that!

I never experienced any of the trapped gas pain from my sleeve, but I had gallbladder surgery many years ago and can still remember how bad that hurts.

If you're experiencing anything close to that level of pain, that is your body telling you something is wrong and you need to see a doctor about it.

I can't imagine how it could be trapped gas by this point, but if you're in that much pain, please go get a professional opinion.

Sounds like if it is that bad you need a doctor's opinion. It's your life! Take care of yourself.
