Pain in left shoulder and neck

Has anyone had pain like this.

Early on it can be caused from the gas they used during surgery. Be sure you are walking ALOT and OFTEN. His is the only wAy to rid your body of the gas. If you're not stil early in post-op.. I don't know the reason for the pain

If you just had surgery it's the CO2 gas, it migrates up to the left shoulder. It's common.

When will this pain go away. It hurts like hell.

Not sure what hurts worse the gas , the nausea or this pain in my shoulder / neck

Mine last maybe 4-5 days after surgery. They sent me home with pain killers so that helped alot:)

Walk it out. That's the only way. Use a heating pad, too.

For me there was still a faint twinge even 10 days post-op. it's gone now. Heating pad works very well, as does walking. Plus walking will help all of the anesthesia leave your system and get your body's systems moving. And protect you from blood clots, hopefully.

I was sleeved on may 22 and the pain still lingers around. Gets better by the day.
