OK, random question.  I had the whole gas bubble pain in shoulder for first week or so past surgery.  On Monday morning i woke up with a LOT of pain in my left shoulder.  Originally thought I Slept on it wrong... But  It hurts to take a deeper breath, couch, sneeze, yawn...  movement, sleeping all that stuff is painful!  I noticed today it was just as bad but started burping a LOT (I don't really burp in general, but today doing it pretty frequently).  This makes me think its gas pains like right after post op.... Do you all "concur"?  and have you had this happen before this far out post op?

this far out from surgery, I would call a dr., just to be sure.  Left shoulder pain is too similar to cardiac pain to not take it seriously enough for at least a call to the doc for an EKG. 

It certainly could well be gas, especially with the belching, but why not let the docs decide?  JMHO.

at 2.11 months out,I still get gas pains in my L shoulder and neck and around to my back. I will also get pain there when I need to poop/while pooping.

 

GL are you going regularly?

Shoulder tip pain is often referred pain from a pelvic site.  I would mention it to your doc.
