I am 4 days out and still get this horrible pain off and on in the tops of my shoulders and chest/neck area. Sometimes when I drink, and sometimes just out of the blue. Also happens when I drink in what feels like my esophagus. I've been using gas x strips like crazy!! But no relief yet...

Walk, walk and more walking. And gas-x. Sit on toilet and rock side to side.

Thanks! Will do!!

I had some strange right shoulder pain that started about 2 weeks post op. To resolve it, I had someone help stretch my arms and massage that shoulder a couple of times. It seemed to be just enough to work out the issue. I was going to go get a professional massage if it hadn't cleared up!
