Question about pain!!!!

Here is a little of my story, After I hsd my lap band I had alot of referred shoulder pain every time I drank or ate(later on). I went to the Doctor and she prescribed my a muscle relaxer which took away the pain after about 2 days. So I stopped taking it. Now the pain is back. I woke up this morning with the feeling of really bad restriction and the shoulder pain started in again. I have been under alot of stress and am dealing with eating just for comfort. I started take the flexeril again in hopes that it would help again. Every time I eat or drink the pain comes back, but I don't get a feeling of fullness or like something is blocked. Has anyone ever had this problem. Oh and I am just a month out from having the lap band. Any help or words of encouragment would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I hope to make to the Tulsa meeting at the mall. Thanks, Kristy

I know that "full" feels different from what it used to.  If you are stressed, this could be a stress related issue as well, because you can't eat as much as you used to, it increases your stress level until you find something to replace it with.  At least that's how it happened for me, and frankly I am still dealing with it.  Talk about emotions run wild.....LOL. I hope other people can add to this with more constructive ideas.  I'd be very wary of the flexiril, it can suck you in and just add to the problems. I've been working with meditation-yes I know it' s not supposed to be work, but it is to get started with.  Best wishes!
