Left shoulder pain at night



Recommended Posts

I’m Day 8 post-op today for the past few nights I’ve had terrible left shoulder pains. It seems to go away during the day but comes back with a vengeance at night time. It was so bad last night I felt it whilst dreaming and dreamed I was having shoulder surgery. Weird.
I’ve been researching and it seems it could be a gas pain left over or signs of a leak. I have no other gas pains left than this one crampy shoulder and don’t feel terrible like a leak, but how how would I really know if it was a leak? Thankfully I have a follow up today with my surgeon. It hurts so bad!

Glad you're seeing the surgeon. I'd assume has pains because a leak usually comes with other symptoms like rapid heart rate, fever, etc. But always good to get it checked!

It’s most like just a gas bubble. Very common. Try sleeping sitting up. Should help. It will go away in time if it is gas.

That’s a good idea. It does seem to be worse when I’m laying down.
