Shoulder Pain after Nissen fundoplication
by Alexmac, Nov 20, 2001 12:00AM
Hello:
1 month ago I had a Nissen fundoplication surgery but since then I have had a right shoulder pain that goes almost to the neck, becomes more intensive after eating, my doctor told me that for his point of view the shoulder pain is not a problem related with the Nissen fundoplication but I didn't have this pain before the surgery, does anyone know something about this, do you think this problem could have been because of the surgery??,
I'll thank you all your support !!

Hi - I had the Nissen Fundoplication surgery 6 1/2 years ago. I vaguely remember having the shoulder pain you describe. It wasn't a constant pain but was off and on for a few months. The doctor never really had any rhyme or reason as to why it was there. My guess it was due to the amount of gas the pumped my stomach up for the procedure. Hope this info helps and that your pain goes away soon! Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
