What's up gents. 2 days post op and still in the hospital. I was doing great right after surgery and up until a few hours ag. I've been holding down water and making laps and everything I need to do. I took a 90 minute nap and that has all changed. I have severe pain in my neck and my shoulders and my back, my nurse is telling me that it's the gas pain but I feel like I've already been dealing with the gas pain in my shoulders and that this is directly in my muscles.

I'm inclined to believe my boss but i feel like straight crap. My catheter is out and I'm off of IV's because i can sip water well and have been able to pee but i can't help but feel like something is wrong for me to be in pain like this. I've read everyone's posts before on the subject but it's totally different when you are going through it yourself. Any comments at all are greatly appreciated.

Should have said ladies and gents, my apologies all.

Lol, you must be feeling bad to worry about offending us ladies!

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Gas pain can be the pits. I didn't have it bad, but it was up in the shoulder, and couldn't tell that from muscle pain. The good news is once it's up in the shoulders, that it has nowhere else to go, and it should start subsiding soonish. Just keep on walking, and know that it should be feeling much better by this time tomorrow.

Thanks I appreciate it. It's just weird how fast it came
Into my muscles and not in my chest cavity where the actual gas was/is you know?

Yeah, I never felt it until it hit the shoulders either... weirdness!

Gas pain is horrible. Just keep walking as much as you can. It does get better [emoji4]
