Severe neck/shoulder pain after I eat... anybody else? any remedies?

ChelseyKayMartin

The last few nights after dinner, I've had severe neck and shoulder pain. I eat normal portions and healthy foods (ex. Tonight I had pork, sweet potato, broccoli and grapes). Anyways, I feel horrible when I'm done. I tried to go for a walk thinking that might help, but the pain got so severe I was in tears. I only have relief when I am laying flat on my back. Has anyone else experienced this?

Some women feel gallstone pain by their right shoulder blade. If the pain is so severe that it's affecting your ability to function, you should definitely mention it to your OB.

I would also guess gallbladder issues. I didn't get pain after eating like most ppl do, so it took forever to get diagnosed properly, but most ppl have pain in the right upper back/shoulder-blade area after they eat. I would definitely talk to your doctor, or maybe hit the walk-in clinic next time it happens if that's before you see the doc. I went to the ER during an attack & they checked me with US & my gallbladder was full of stones. A few weeks later they took it out & I've never had the pain since. But I can't eat Alfredo sauce anymore either (goes right through me now ).

I get some pretty severe gas pains after dinner sometimes that go up into my right shoulder. Laying flat helps me too and when the gas passes my shoulder feels much better.

I thought deferred gas pains when I read this because broccoli is a big gas maker. If it's recurring definitely mention it to your OB.
