A member asked:

I have severe referred shoulder pain and increasing cough after laproscopic insertion of the gastric stimulator in mar. what's the treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Remove it: I would go back to the center where the stimulator was placed and talk with them. the stimulator may need to be repositioned, or it may be some temporary pain
