shoulder pain

I have been having some left shoulder pain the last few days. I don't know if I should be scared or not. It's not a constant pain, it's when I move the joint not eating or even after eating. It started this morning after a trip to the grocery store and picking up a case of water.

I am post op...I had surgery July 11th

Sounds like you sprained your shoulder while lifting the case of Water :( If it started after you lifted it, and hurts when you move it,manat would be my guess.

Anyone else with different thoughts?

Just to be sure, check with your doctor. I learned my lesson last year concerning "Google-itis" and second guessing. I was doing some weight training as an exercise attempt and thought I re-injured a surgical rotator cuff repair. My primary doc does not diagnose over the phone, so I had to go in to see him. The shoulder hurt with burning pain, yet I could move it around somewhat. He took one visual look at it and told me why Ben-Gay just made it worse. I was getting shingles!!! I never would have thought of that in a million years. So, for you, it's at least worth a call. Don't worry so much. It could be something simple and coincidental like gamergirl suggested. Good luck.
