My Surg was 11/28... I expected to have gas pain last 2-4 days! It seems to be just as bad as day one & can get intense enough to stop me in my tracts, is this the norm? Also am on a blood thinner for 10days, I am experiencing shortness of breath from time to time... is this due to the blood thinner, or a symptom others experienced???

Any & all info is appreciated!!!

Hi,

I had my surgery on 11/21, I only had gas pain for the first night, but I have a high pain threshold so I haven,t had any pain, I am on blood thinner for 4 weeks and I haven't had any problems with them only the bee sting feeling after they are injected

Thank you!!!

I’m in day 3 and I don’t have gas pain in my shoulders, but it’s inside me. I feel like I’m constantly grumbling around in there ready to burp or hiccup after any sip. I need to move around more I think. Are you walking around?

Been walking a lot ..... put heating pad on my shoulders this morning, seem to relieve things ... but was all back within an hour!!!
I spoke with a nurse in the family this eve & she said the blood thinner I am taking can cause the shortness of breath!!!

Hi,

My surgery was on 11/25. I had very bad gas pain in my left shoulder for 2 days. The downward dog yoga pose helped for obvious reasons. I also did a dose of milk of mag and a fleets suppository which reliever it completely. Hope this helps.

Sleeved the same day and also have some residual pressure/pain in my left shoulder. I've been using a heating pad, icy hot, deep massage, yoga, and lifting some light weights. It's not making it go away, but it's making it more manageable.

I’m 5 days out and still have the grumbling and sometimes there is a pain right under my sternum that stops me from doing anything until I move around. I find that moving and walking helps me with all that. Sitting too long also makes me very uncomfortable.

Thank you all.... I will try all your suggestions.... the left shoulders is my worst as well, I only have slight pain in my Right shoulder!!!
