Hang in there girl! I had surgery on July 20 too, and have had horrible left shoulder pain too. Apparently this is pain radiating from the diaphragm and is extremely common after surgery like this. Putting a heating pad and taking Tylenol on time helped me a ton. The nurse said the pain could last up to a week maybe 5. Just follow your instructions from you Dr. and you'll be good. Hang in there, I totally understand how painful that is!
