Donegalgirl 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Hello everyone I had my op on Tuesday so today is my 3rd day and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long I can expect these pains in my shoulder to last.

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted August 31, 2012 mine lasted for about 5 days......some say use gas x or heating pads. i moved my shoulders around and took meds to help with the pain......i hope it sure does get better for you. i promise it will. all the best and hang in there and congrats on your surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mybella 35 Posted August 31, 2012 Mine last about 6 days. I read that it is called "referred pain". When ever you tamper with the stomach and liver, you feel the pain in your shoulder, just like when you have a heart attach you feel it in your left arm. I will go away soon, just take your meds.

scorrea 95 Posted August 31, 2012 Mine lasted two days, left and then it came back about a week later. Weird right? Then it left after about 3 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted August 31, 2012 Mine was overnight and my using the heating pad right after I got home from hospital relaxed me and pain disappeared. Sometimes Gas-X doesn't work because the pain is outside the stomach area. Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
