Pain in left shoulder/5 days post op

Morning Everyone,

I'm 5 days post op and still having trouble with left shoulder giving sharp pain when I swallow or sit a certain way. I was hoping it was just gas but it's still happening! How long does this last?

Are you using gasX? Try doing something like the wave. Raise your hands way over your head, then reach to your toes as far as you can without over stretching

It can still be gas at 5 days out. I definitely experienced that sensation for a week or more. Don't remember exactly when it went away, but I know I still had it sometimes when I was home from surgery and I spent my first 4 days post-op in Mexico. So it was definitely 5+ days out and I was still having it.
