i am in pain....

ooh friends give me some ideas...........my right shoudler is hurting me so bad,everytime i lay down it is like someone is stabbing me,i am taking the darvocets,i just can t get no sleep,this is worse the the wls...........i am walkin but man it hurts!!!! vickie

Would a heating pad help? Why would your shoulder hurt after your surgery? My friend had trapped gas in her back after WLS & she was in a lot of pain & the only thing that helped her was walking. Hang in there............

yes ginny st joe called to check on me and yes they said trapped gas is prob what it is and to take 2 darvocets and a heating pad............thanks so much!!!! They also said that when they so surgery they are pretty rough with us and at 114lbs they must of had me all over lol............thanks vickie

Hey, u, hope u r feeling better. That gas pain is rough and as small as u r they probably tossed u around.

Hey Chick, I had the same thing a few days ago after my surgery. In my left shoulder. It was AWFUL. I put a damp towel on the dryer on high heat until it go nice and toasty then wrapped my arm it. This helped ALOT. I liekd it better than a heating pad because it was a more moist heart and was very soothing. Call me if you need anything!

I am doing well........i am so sore lol........and those dang staples....but i will have them 2weeks, i have tried the heat and it works.........thanks hillbilly!!! vickie

Vickie how you doing now???? It has been a while since you posted. Hope the pain is starting to ease up for you.

Ohhhhhhh Vicki, I had my surgery last Monday (11/20). I am STILL fighting pain in my right shoulder...in my back. I have been told it is atalectasis/pleurisy, possible pneumonia, possible trapped gas. I feel for you girl!! It is so frustrating to feel well otherwise. This is the worst pain I have ever had. I had to sit up against a heating pad, take the medicine for the pain and take hot showers. Nothing really helps me because it happens when I breathe in. Good luck....just remember that this too will pass.
