shoulder blade pain...

For about a a month now I have been experiencing very intense shoulder pain on my right side. I was just wondering if this may be a part of pregnancy and what may be causing it. It is extremely uncomfortable and I can't really find relief and it is getting to the point where I can't even have my husband rub it because it hurts too bad. I apply heat but it's only temporary relief. I take Tylenol, but I feel like I have been taking too much lately so I have stopped. Has anybody else experienced this? What did you do for relief and what what was the cause of your pain. It's the only pain I have, well except for the discomfort I have in my abdomen due to me having surgery about a month ago.

I do throw up after eating too greasy or gassy of foods, didn't think anything of it. Oh goodness! haha, thank you so much for your response, Let's just hope it's not that, I don't want another surgery, ever lol.

I know what you mean about having a rough pregnancy. Mine was pretty rough too, but I didn't have to have surgery at least. I hope you get to feeling better soon! I went to the er for the 1st attack, and they told me to avoid greasy or very fatty foods. That can bring on an attack. Because I had a 2nd one the next night they went ahead and took it out. Its been 3 days since the surgery and I feel really good, so its an easy surgery at least. I hope you catch a break soon hun!

I was reading about that just a bit ago! Yikes! I will definitely be asking at my next appt on the 17th, just wanted to know if anybody else could relate!
If it's not one thing, it's another in this pregnancy. I had a horrible first trimester, then at 20 weeks I had to have surgery to have a large ovarian mass removed along with my ovary. I am still recovering...oh goodness, I just hope it's nothing serious. I just want a break! lol

Have your dr take a look at your gallbladder at your next appt. I just had mine removed because I had 2 attacks 2 nights in a row. One of my symptoms was severe pain in my right shoulder, which is a symptom of gallbladder stones. Im almost 3 weeks post baby.
