Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Under arm pain.
I was wondering if anyone else has had any trouble with pain under the arm pit. Then when I squeeze under my arm where that muscle is it hurts so bad and I cannot lift my arm up either. Even when I use that arm and scratch with my hands on my other arm it hurts under that arm just by scraching my other hand. When I scratch it feels like a muscle that is reacting. I am almost sure it is and am wondering could that come from losing so much weight. Is my body out of wack and I am considering to going to a chriopractor next week to get everything back in order again. It is getting a little bit better and I am starting to feel the same symtoms on my other arm and at the same place. Seems like the muscle that runs under the arm all the way down to my elebow. From the pain under my arm soemtimes hurts my shoulder when I want to work with that hand a little bit. I put a heating pad over my shoulders and that makes it feel a little bit better. When I squeese on my shoulder and my arms it does not hurt only when I squeeze under my arm in one spot which I am sure is a big muscle that runs there. I do not know if that makes any sence to you but I hope you know what I meant and would love any information if anyone else has had that. My daughter was telling me to go to a chriopractor becasue that happened to her but it was her back that hurt pretty bad and that came from her weight loss and now she is ok. She said they had to align her back again. I am one of those people that will try and do things on my own and only go to the doctor as a last resort. Then to top it off my husband and family want to go camping this weekend, I am so not looking forward to that. I am defenatly taking my heating pad along and tylanol for pain if needed. I have not taken any yet and i know I should but I try not to have my body depend on that and will try it without it as long as I can and I know I should not have to suffer if I do not have to, but I am weird that way.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

kitty, you had major surgery less than a year ago. Any change that you feel, always run it by your surgeon or your PCP. At the stage you are, it is not a good idea to not go to your dr until the last minute, you MUST go to your dr the first thing with everything, until you have settled comfortably into your new weight and new body. The ONLY person who can give you the correct advice is the person who can examine you personally. You should have your back and shoulders checked out just in case. You may have had back damage from when you were carrying a lot of weight, that is only showing up right now. This happens, because even if you have a bad back, the fatty tissue that was around it helped *prop* your back up, and disguised the issue. Of course, I hope it is nothing but some muscles sore because you are now using hidden muscles that you didn't/couldn't use before. However, don't try to figure it out on your own, better be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon. (((((((HUGS)))))))

I don't have any answers for you but just wanted to say that I hope you get to feeling better soon. If it doesn't get better, like Doc said, definitely call your doctor. Keep us posted.
