Call your doctor….most have an answering service of some kind.

Reach out to them for help if you are in that much pain.

Feel better and let us know!

All of my shoulder pain was from the gas they pump into your abdomen for the surgery (it helps them see inside better). They take as much back out as they can but some stays in there. The pain has something to do with the gas pushing on a nerve near your diaphragm and the nerve pain is felt in your shoulder. But I experienced this the second I woke up from surgery all the way until a week post op. It concerns me that your pain developed suddenly after 5 days. I would consult your doctor! I called mine a few days post op and the nurse I spoke to was very helpful. I'm sure your doctor or a nurse there can give you some better advice. Good luck!

I had this pain after surgery and talked to my doctor, it was gas. You need to walk, take some gas x, put a heat pack on it, and sleep in an up right position

Bad pain, call your doctor.

Having said that, try asking a friend to karate chop your neck and shoulders rapidly a few times a day. And walk, walk, walk.
