I Am Having Alot Pain On My Left Shlowder Are You?

You may be healing faster than me, everyone has their own schedule. Me, I am an Office worker, but at home, I do yard work, I love to mow the grass, get up on the ladder and paint, or hammer, take out the garbage, flip my mattresses, move furniture around.

I never in a million years thought anything was wrong, as I flipped my mattress the day before surgery, and threw out lots of stuff from the basement.

I think the doctor is saying up to three months so I won't do anything stupid. Its really cool getting my friends to carry in the dog food, the laundry detergent and cases of Water.

I haven't had mine yet. One week and one day away!!!:frown:

I am definitely going to have to recruit my DH and daughter for lifting stuff.

Thanks for all the info! It helps me to know what to expect!

When you have surgery they pump your stomach full of gas to expand the area so they have room to operate. It seems to settle and make alot of peoples shoulders ache. I used Gas-x chewables and it really helped. I also walked around the house and that made me feel better.

Just a little clarification, they don't pump your stomach full of gas, they pump your abdomen full of gas. Unfortunately, the only thing that works for that gas is the walking. Gas-x will help with any digestive gas you are having. The OP's problem was not with gas but with the hiatal hernia repair she had done which also causes discomfort specifically in the left shoulder.
