Wind pain

Wind pain is just awful! I had it intensley second day post-op and shoulder tip too. I got up and walked around some but boy was I soooo uncomfortable with it......sometimes it takes longer to reabsorb into your organs so it can get out upper or lower....if you know what I mean. I'm still gas loaded and bloated but am trying everyday to move it on out!

Hey kell, I had shoulder tip pain for about a week 2 weeks ago, after having my Gallbladder out. DeGas worked great for me! Take it regularly and it should hopefully really ease it.

I have some degas so will try it today. I have been using straws too, so that's a great tip. It isn't restricted just to sipping, it happens every so often regardless, but often sipping can disturb it. I am all but certain it is the wind because it hits the shoulder tip thing you know? I mentioned it to the surgeons people yesterday and they said it was normal enough... I think I am just impatient! Than you so much for the feedback. Part of the concern is not knowing how long this is normal for.

It Is still early days for you, the wind passes hang in there. I found hot shower helpful one night when I could’t sleep "de gas" tablets also helped me - get these from pharmacy. I took a strong pain killer the first time it happened. I am not so sure my gas was related to sipping though, it would be worth following up with your surgeon / surgery nurse if it persists. I was also told not to use a straw because it introduces air into your digestive system - just a tip in case you are using straws.
Take care and I hope it al settles soon.

Help!!! How do I get rid of this residual gas?? It's so painful. I take a sip and 2-3 seconds later it HURTS right up to shoulder tip pain, then eases again, but its making me scared to drink :( Its sitting in the chest/upper abdomen and I cannot shift it. I walk, I heat pack, and nothing. I wonder if sleeping on my back is worsening it, too. But I am too afraid to tummy sleep just yet.

Any ideas? PLLLLEEEEASSE?
