Randomly out of the blue yesterday right under my left shoulder blade started hurting. It feels like a pulled muscle but I am not so sure. Im 3 months post op today. I plan to call my Dr when they open but does anyone have any thoughts?

I woke up with terrible shoulder pain after my surgery, my doctor gave me some medication and it cleared up within a week!

I didn't think leaks were possible at 3 months out!

Thanks. Im hoping it is just a pulled muscle. I work out 5 days a week so hoping I tweaked it.

I don't know for sure obviously, but I don't think it sounds like a leak. I believe the shoulder pain people get with a leak feels the same if not similar to someone who is bleeding internally and gets shoulder pain. Which I have experienced. It's quite painful and all you want is someone to rub your shoulders for you to make the pain go away. I do know with internal bleeding the most painful thing I experienced was the feeling like my body was being electrocuted over and over again. Also, you are 3 months out. My surgeon said it's very unlikely that you'll get a leak once you pass the 10 day mark.

Gas? Your gall bladder? Call your doctor when you can and check back in with an update!

Thank you for the reassurance. After being on the treadmill this morning and while on it I had no pain so I truly believe I pulled a muscle.
