Ok, my surgeon said some people complain of left shoulder pain after surgery, he told me why but I can't remember the exact reason for it. He says gas x-strips won't help for that. I'm just curious to see how many people experienced that pain? Now I'm more worried about that than the incisions. I do have a heating pad packed just in case but if you had it what helped it go away?

I too am suffering from this left back shoulder pain....and it does gets worse at night....I currently work night shift so taking meds is out of the question. ...Ughhh it's so irritating i guess I have to walk and wait it out : (

I'm 21 days out and have bad left shoulder pain daily gets worse after eating I had hernia repair also any tips on how to get rid of it?

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk & walk some more! [emoji16]

I had left shoulder pain and I felt pain under my left breast as soon as I woke up from surgery. It took about 3-4 days to pass. I walked a lot in the hospital
