thank you all for the input... i've been moving around all day, keeping the heating pad on and drinking. no change yet, but i'll tough it out... gotta keep reminding myself that even though it sucks right now, everything will be worth it in the end...

so i had my surgery and a hernia fixed this past week, july 3 and i knew going in there would be post-op pain... but i've had such horrible pain in my left shoulder. i realize that it's extra gas and i have been replacing a hot compress almost every hour during the days. nothing is helping, and it's keeping me awake at night. i have been getting up and moving as much as possible, i walk for at least 20 mins. a day and i just can't get any relief. no other pain, my incisions don't even hurt. ( though my ankles are REALLY swollen) am i just being a baby about this? should i just tough it out? any ideas what else might help?

hey there! my surgery was july 3 and i totally feel your pain! =( i also had a hernia fixed and at first i thought the hiccups had to do with that. but 'LBT ADDICT' is right on the money... mine were due to gulping liquids instead of sipping... hope you feel better soon!
