Could I still have gas pains one month later?

[Rainydayz 27]

Last night my shoulder hurt so much just like it did right after surgery. I'm wondering if it could still be some gas working its way out or something else?

Possibly, although not very likely. The gas they pump into us usually dissipates in a week or so. Did you do something different with your arm recently?

Well, I did dig up a shrub in the flower garden a couple days ago. I suppose that could be it. It's a lot better today so maybe it was just sore..

Hey Rainydayz,

I've had intermittent left shoulder pain too. Same exact pain as post-op. I have it primarily when I am sitting in my car and once at the theater. I am 3 weeks post-op. I have wondered the same thing or if it is a pinched nerve...

It seems to build for about 30 minutes and then goes away as soon as I'm moving around. hmmm makes me wonder if I don't have little "pockets" of gas...
