6 Days Post Op,shoulder Pain.....

Ouch! Its called referred pain. Nerves run from above your stomach to your shoulder. Welcome to the club. Eat slow, chew, chew, chew...

I am 7 days post op and today is the first day without the shoulder pain. I think it may also be gas. You do have to eat very slow (so much for hot foods anymore). lol Good luck!!!

I too had shoulder pain after my surgery. My pain lasted 4 days before it finally went away. I have not had any since, thank goodness. I was told mine was gas working its way out. Good luck. I feel for you. )

the shoulder pain can be like a real bad toothache! try a heating pad!

Also, drink peppermint tea. It works great!
