Intense Pain in Left Shoulder 2 days Post Op
I had the surgery 9/14 and by 2 days later I fell asleep around 10 pm and when I got woken up at midnight for my stats I complained about severe left shoulder pain. The nurse was not sure why she thought it was the way I slept.
I have read on the message boards that it is common but I can't take this pain. I have been using Gas X strips as directed on the box and taking the pain med every 3 hours as recommended and nothing is working. I do get up every hour and walk around the apartment for at least 10 mins or so and I have been out of the house twice today doing plenty of walking.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I find the pain in my left shoulder to be more than the incisional pain.
HELP !!!
