How to get rid of gas

I've been post opp for three days now and I'm having an incredible amount of pain in my shoulder due to gas. How can I get rid of it? It hurts worst then my incisions.

I had the same thing for the first three days and all I could do was put a heating pad on it and walk as much as I could to release the gas. I'm post-op day 5 now and my shoulder pain is gone. Hope that helps some! Good luck!

I think pretty much everyone seems to go through that. I don't think there is really anything you can do. If someone will rub it, that helped me, but only while it was being rubbed. Sorry. It does pass though. Hang in there.

Referred pain is TERRIBLE for laproscopic surgeries. I have had a few, and something that works for me is WALKING as much and as often as possible. Also, like somebody else said, heating pad works well. best of luck!

Walking is the only thing that gets rid of it, try as often as possible, I know it's easier said than done
