Post-Op 6 days and suddenly developed shoulder pain.



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery May 20, 2020, everything has  been smooth sailing until last night around 2am, I woke up to incredible shoulder pains that just will not go away with Tylenol. Ever thing else is fine. No fever, no tummy pain, nothing. Just this awful shoulder pain. Anyone else’s have this issue?

Hi Ruth. I had the same on my left shoulder. I was told it was leftover gas but definitely get checked to be sure. Does walking help?

I walk over 2 miles a day and I have had zero pain till today at 2am. Walking has not helped today, only getting worse by the hour.

I had something similar and it was gas pain. But either call the surgeon or your primary and check with them (or ER) because it's better to just make sure...

As a Cardiac issue survivor - Go get checked out - Not saying you have issues, but DO NOT PUSH IT! Could be stress could be gas, But let the doc;s figure that stuff out

I am in the hospital and doc is trying to rule out a leak now. In lots of shoulder pain. No fever, no stomach pain, just shoulder pain.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
