I had this problem right after surgery. Each time it happened I vowed it would never happen again. After talking to my doctor, he suggested I take the Walmart brand pill Senna (in the laxative aisle). I also talked to my PC who said this would not cause me any problems. I take 2 every night like clock work and I also eat at least 1 low fat Activia a day. It has worked wonderfully. Do I sometimes have a problem? Yes....but not very often and nothing like I had before taking the Senna.

Best advice I can give all of you that are having surgery, get up and walk as soon as you are able and do it as much as you can. It really, really helps to get relief from the gas pain you will have in your shoulder. It also helps with how fast you recuperate. My roommate was only in her early 20's and just slept all the time. When she did wake up she cried with pain. I was at least twice her age and did so much better than she did with my recuperation.
