JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted January 21, 2015 Have a friend do rapid karate chops on your neck and shoulder a few times a day. And walk walk walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dsteele89 5 Posted January 21, 2015 I'm in the same boat. Left shoulder, neck and side are killing me. Like a sharp pain when you move a certain way. I have a heating pad which seems to help and moving around every little while. I'm 1 day post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSRS520 75 Posted January 21, 2015 Walking helps to get that out, also try the karate chops and get some gas x strips. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted January 21, 2015 Hi there, mine hit around day four or five just when I thought I hd escaped the dreaded left shoulder pain. Windmill arms helped me but also the walking, walking walking. This was also about the time I had to address Constipation. I didn't take pain medication but still had this issue from anesthesia. The good news is it won't be lomg before this I is all a distant memory. Way to go choosing your healthy future! It's a very exciting time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
