Shoulder tip pain

Hi Rachel

That sounds like the dreaded wind pain :-(.  it can take a while to settle

If you have started on soft food, really important that you are doing the 20+ rule as this can aggravate the wind pain too

Try to take some wind preps… peppermint tea, gripe water and chewable windeze are great

Keep up and mobile and do some windmills with the arms.

If you are struggling with soft diet in anyway, might be wise to have a few days back on fluids

Have you spoke to your dietitian yet

It will get easier…. the first few weeks can just be the worst for the wind xx

A little article to read too, if you haven’t already… and don’t forget to check out the Start Here section – few hints and tips on the early weeks in there xx

haha good to hear you’re getting your teeth (ish) into something hey.   Well done you for keeping up and mobile…. could be a ball of wind under the diaphragm if you’re feeling the pain when you inhale..??    Hopefully this settles for you quickly.   Do you have any pain when shallow breathing and being still..??  or when you eat..??

Yes all the dietitian are working form home now, there maybe a slight delay on the regular calls until everyone have home access in place I’m afraid xx

How’s the wind pain Rachel – it won’t last long ? Xx

I have been getting this shoulder tip/ wind pain still. Mine seems to get worse if I am lay in a funny position. I am 3 weeks in, it’s fading but comes and goes every couple of days.

Hi Hannah, welcome to the site

It can take a few weeks for wind to settle – have you started on soft diet now..??  if so make sure you are applying the 20+ rule all the time as eating too quick can bring the wind back

Try taking some wind preps to help and make sure you are keeping up and mobile too

Are you managing food ok..??  not having any reflux or regurgatation xx
