NEW LEFT SHOULDER PAIN!!!

I have had awful left shoulder pain since last night! It really hurts! What can I do?

I'm so sorry! PM N.M. and I'm sure she will respond as soon as she notice's it. Wish I could be of more help. :-(

who is NM?

That is Nicci. Her S/N on here is N.M. Very nice lady! She has had major problems with left shoulder pain and should have a lot of info concerning it that she would share with you.

Nicci has an entire thread devoted to left shoulder pain on the Failed bands forum. I don't want to post it here because I would need to get everyones permission to bring it over here. If you're interested in reading it then join the group and I will approve your membership.

This is going to sound weird, but Nicci told me to do this and it really worked. Put a heating pad on your stomach.

If it carries on , get it checked out. But it may well be gas related. So just treat the gas! OTC meds, heating pad, moving around. The actual gas may be anywhere in your system, but as the diaphragm and the left shoulder share a nerve system, any pressure of gas on the diaphragm can make us feel pain in the left shoulder.

But as N.M. will tell you, problems with the diaphragm should not be left, so give it a few days and if it is still there, get medical advice.

Ugh, it's not fun.  I havethat, it's called referred shoulder pain.  You can find more info thru N.M., and a group to join if you want to it has a good topic on it.

However, since my revision to RNY it has improved greatly but still have some pain, but not as bad as before.

Sorry! :( 

Did you get stuck recently or have a fill? Some left shoulder pain be caused by swelling while other left shoulder pain is the referred pain. I pray it goes away.
