I know this has been discussed but...

My shoulder pain kicked in around day 4 and is the worst today day 9 post surgery. When I walk it feels like I have a shooting pain in my shoulder.

I haven't bothered taking pain meds for this but has anyone had any success in that regard? It's worse at night.

I haven't had to use them yet, but my doc prescribed me meds. Are you sleeping upright? My surgeon said to prop myself up with pillows to help avoid shoulder pain.

mine hit hard on like day 4 to about 8 or 9

pain meds help as does heating pads or stand in a hot shower and let

the Water hit the shoulder.....def keep moving and do windmills with arm (even if hurts)

as one morning you will walk up and its going to be gone ♥

Same as CG -- day 4 or 5, whammo! A heating pad definitely helped me and I (carefully) did windmill arms while walking to release any gas trapped way up there. Hope you're feeling better today........
