suann1964 reacted to SageTracey in Post Surgery And Pain In Left ShoulderI still had left shoulder pain about 11 days post-op. My surgeon said it was referred pain from him moving my diaphragm during surgery. It will pass. Hang in there.

suann1964 reacted to NWgirl in Post Surgery And Pain In Left ShoulderI got the gas shoulder/neck pain about 4 days post-op and it lasted for about a week. It seemed to get really irritated if I was working, but if I sat still or used a heating pad it felt better.

suann1964 reacted to Littlefoot in Post Surgery And Pain In Left ShoulderI had shoulder & back pain. I know it sounds weird but it passes. The air or gas that gets in your body cavity in surgery needs to escape. Keep moving. If it gets bad, you might try a masseuse, sometimes they can help work it out. Mine faded by the 2wk mark. Everyone is different. I had a friend who suffered 3 wks. If you have a concern just call & ask your doc. I hope they encouraged you to call if you had probs!
