Chest Pains!

Hello everyone I had my op on Tuesday so today is my 3rd day and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long I can expect these pains in my shoulder to last. Thanks so much for the messages of support I have recieved. Ps I ment shoulder pains not chest pains.

mine lasted for about 5 days......some say use gas x or heating pads. i moved my shoulders around and took meds to help with the pain......i hope it sure does get better for you. i promise it will. all the best and hang in there and congrats on your surgery :)

Mine last about 6 days. I read that it is called "referred pain". When ever you tamper with the stomach and liver, you feel the pain in your shoulder, just like when you have a heart attach you feel it in your left arm. I will go away soon, just take your meds.

Mine lasted 1 mo off and on. It is from gas.

I does go away in time. Keep drinking and walking.'Wendy

Mine lasted two days, left and then it came back about a week later. Weird right? Then it left after about 3 days

Mine was overnight and my using the heating pad right after I got home from hospital relaxed me and pain disappeared. Sometimes Gas-X doesn't work because the pain is outside the stomach area. Best wishes
