I had my sleeve 8 days night I woke up screaming because of pain. Which is something I never have done. I have an extremely high tolerance for pain. But my whole body ,from shoulders to feet hurt when I moved. I called a 24 hour nursing service I used and they asked if I had ibuprofen. I said I couldn't take that but my Dr said I could take my meloxicam rarely as it's only the 7.5 tabs. She said take that with a cup of hot chamomile tea if you have that or other hot tea if not seep it for awhile. Then she started looking up info on the sleeve and said this is something that can happen for up to 2 years. The reason I'm posting this is not to scare you but to say the tea and melxicam worked. I still hurt abit after 4 hours but I can move. So if any of you have a problem with this try that remedy if you can.

How awful. Did you find out why this happened? What was the cause? My initial thought was muscle spasms in my back which I had when I was still in hospital (bought tears to my eyes). Surgeon said I was holding my body stiffly in response to pain & discomfort. For me it was swallowing - had a lot of swelling & could barely swallow a sip of water the first 24/36 hours.

I haven't found the cause. I will ask my surgeon next week when I visit him and post here.
