I had surgery 3 days ago, I am still a little sore and gassy. My main problem is I am having left shoulder pain, I've tried heat, ice, and rubs but it is still hurting. Has anyone experienced this and if so what can I do to help it???

These pains can come from a different source also, not only gas. Don't forget that the surgeon was pushing a lot of organs around when he or she was in there. A surgeon explained to me that the diaphram can become irritated and stay that way longer that the gas stays in your abdominal cavity. I am four days post op and I feel this when I take a REALLY deep breath in my chest and just behind my shoulder blade. Pain killers help as does walking around.

My shoulder pain hit me a week after surgery, it just came out of no where and was TERRIBLE, I ended up having to go to ER for pain shot. And was sent home with a couple of pain pills for later.
