So sorry to hear this. It could be many things, and I did not go through it, however from what I've heard it's probably a trapped gas bubble. Not much you can do but try gentle massage to the affected area. Good luck and enjoy the ever changing ride!!

This may not pertain in your cir****tance, but often there is trapped air as a result of surgery, which migrates up toward the shoulders. It can be alleviated by activity, heat and whatever analgesics you are allowed to take. But don't take my word for this, call your surgeon and ask for his/her advice.
