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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
