I had my surgery about 5 weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone else gets shoulder pain. I had this right out of surgery but not sure why I am still getting it on occasion. It is usually after I eat.

Its called referred pain. There are nerves above your stomach that run to your left shoulder. It will get better with time. I had shoulder pain often after my surgery September 29th, 2011. Now, I rarely have any shoulder pain.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op & have pain in my shoulder every day starting late afternoon until I go to sleep

6 years later I still get it if I over eat (it's my early warning system lol). Take 2 gas-ex it wii help :-)

Use a heating pad at night for 10 minutes. It will relax your back muscles.

After the gas from your operation has passed, shoulder pain is typically a sign that you have eaten too much or too quickly. I am 16 months out and still get the shoulder pain when I don't pay attention to eating with due care.

Sagetracey so true, I have noticed this shoulder pain after my fills. If I eat just that bit too much I get the shoulder warning or if I haven't chewed properly before swallowing. Didn't think it was gas pain as that is long gone. I've learnt now after each fill I need to slow down even more and make sure I take smaller bites.
