Anyone know what the common timeframe to have continued neck/shoulder and chest pain is after surgery. My stomach is no longer in pain however my neck is in an immense amount of pain. I had my surgery on the second of June (last Thursday). Any advise helps! Thanks!

The gas used during surgery can cause this - moving around and walking should help. I would definitely call your surgeon to be sure it's not anything else.

Yeah I know the gas can cause it but I didn't expect it to be this long. When I had my gallbladder taken out two years ago I only had the pain for maybe 2 days. I was much less active than I am now so that's where the worries stem from.

How are you doing? I wonder if the pain is from sleeping awkwardly after the surgery.

I had sharp pains in my right side. I have 4 blood clots[emoji53] if your not on a blood thinner you might want to check it out

What is the treatment for blood clots? Just blood thinners? Was it in your lung?

Yes, it is blood thinners. I had two in my lungs, one in my portal vein and one in my intestines. I was admitted two weeks post-op with the blood clots but looking back on it I should have gone to the ER much sooner. I thought the pain in my chest was gas. It was the portal vein pain that sent me to the ER because it was cutting blood off to my liver.
