After the surgery for a few days (3 days) i had BAD shoulder pain which i was told this is normal because of the gas they give you in surgery. It did go away after 3 days and i felt better than i had in awhile. Now im starting to notice my shoulder is starting to hurt again, does anyone know if this is this still from the gas or should i be concerned?
If anyone else who had gallbladder surgery had this happen to them How long did it take to get over the shoulder pain?
the surgeon removed the stent, and stone, and also his gallbladder, but he was in a lot of pain, and the op lasted for 4 hours. now, 4 weeks later he has a lot of pain in his left shoulder, which his doctor has no idea what is causing it. we gather from your posts that this is probably trapped wind, but it has been 4 weeks since his operation. we wonder how long this will take to resolve itself, as we are getting no help elsewhere!
Pain in this area always alerts a physician to first check the Gallbladder. The Gallbladder also refers pain to the right shoulder. If the shoulder and jaw pain was on the LEFT side of the body, the heart and cardiovascular system should be evaluated and clinical correlation is required. Other less likely considerations would be accute myocardial infarction, gas, indigestion, intercostal neuritis, and diverticulitis.
I thought I was nuts and then I came across this site. I have severe left shoulder pain. I also suffere with severe constipation. I have gas all the time and it is not that ladylike silent gas. My shoulder hurts so bad, it often radiates down my arm. I am convinced it is directly related to my bowels. I also have this kind of burning/nausea in my stomach which leads me to think I have an ulcer. I am in so much pain I don't know what to do. At first I thought it might be athritis...
I suffer from IBS, Acid Reflux and Gastritis. I very frequently, even with medication, get agonizing pain right below my sternum. I suffered with this pain for 4 days straight and then it stopped. This time, after the pain that I have become accustom to stopped, I began having pain in the lower rib cage area that extended like a band around my body. I even have pain in my back (between shoulder blades and in shoulder blades).
Your symptoms could be your gall bladder. I just had mine out this last Saturday due to it not functioning. It was only working 10% this was learned by having (h i d a ) scan done. In Dec. 06 I had shoulder surgery and had a long time getting better. I've since learned your gall bladder can cause shoulder pain and pain in your shoulder blade. I thought I might need shoulder replacement but majority of pain from gall bladder.
Are you sure your not just having trapped gas pain? When I am sick and have to lay in bed for days on end, I will get tapped gas between my shoulder blades and under my breasts. Try rocking in a rocking chair or taking "Gasx" a over the counter med that helps get the gas out. Trapped Gas is very painful. And it can move arround on you . Hope I helpped.After Having Pnemonia it takes days to stop the shortness of breath..It's scarry to not be able to take a deep breath!
Mine goes to my arms, hips, legs, back, in between shoulder blades, fleeting pains in the chest, sides, or even in the feet.. Weird ! .. you would be able to tell by pressing on the area- and it will make you burp and afford pain relief, or by doing chopping - like massage to where the pain is with same result.. I think your guess is right. Its gas from acidity..
To address formation of gas, I take "anti gas enzymes" Beano did not help me, not antacids either..
I have the same problem sometimes, its most likely gas pain. When I need to relieve gas pain in my chest and upper back I drink about 2-3oz of lemon juice in a glass of water and take a few gas x. It helps me a lot. Try not to drink carbonated beverages after 6pm, and drink the lemon water after dinner and before bed to help relieve the pain all night long, It works wonders for me.
t think that shoulder pain
is linked to endometriosis. As far as pain in your shoulder, a really good
product to use for pain is called Traumeel which is available in a cream
and tablets. You buy this product in a health food store and it's homeopathic so it won't interfere with any other meds you're taking. My mom who has
frozen shoulders swears by it and it smells nice. My husband and I use
Traumeel too. It also helps to make bruises fade. It's a wonderful product.
It can be painful and uncomfortable when an attack is coming on, but movement does help the gas to move around and hopefully become untrapped. This morning 6/13/14 I woke up out of a dead sleep in pain from the trapped gas. I have not been able to sleep. I drank several glasses of hot peppermint tea and it helped slightly, but not enough for my comfort. I had fennel seeds in the cabinet and have dione a little digging on those. It apparently helps with digestion and helps relieve trapped gas.
I agree with Sarsi. Sometimes there is still some of the gas inside which can cause a fair amount of pain. Usually up in the shoulder area, but I'm sure your chest could hurt as well. Regardless, I think a call to the surgeon is in order just to make sure. If necessary a trip to the ER might be needed.
