Any help or advice would be appreciated.... 7 weeks since Nissen Fundoplication

Hello,

I had the nissen fundoplication 7 weeks ago today.

I still have extreme pain in my left shoulder, I had this immediately after the operation but it disappeared after a couple of days. Around week 2 it came back again worse than ever and has stayed ever since. I find that I am okay on a morning and as the day goes on the pain in my neck and shoulder gets worse and worse.

I am taking anti imflammatories and ibrufen but nothing seems to make the pain any less.

It then gets so severe I struggle to turn my head or sit with my back against anything so i am unable to drive.

I went to see my surgeon and he said it was muscle spasms and that they would go away. That was 3 weeks ago.

I really dont know what I can do to make this stop?

I have been back at work since week 2, as much as i have a desk job its really difficult for me to work in so much pain.

Any advice would be appreciated?

Thanks Guys!

Thank you Sharon, I have purchased some tablets containing Simethicone and I can feel an improvement already
