Back Pain PO

Hiya girls

I am 11 days post op and in the last couple of days have been in excruciating pain in my right shoulder blade. It feels like it has cramp and is so so painful – I can’t find any position that stops it, and have had to go back on to codeine to sleep.

Did anyone else have this issue? I don’t understand why I’ve only got it 2nd week of recovery – I’m wondering have I not rested enough and strained it, is it because I’m under the muscle and it’s just trauma.

I’m terrified that this is always going to be like this now and that my back can’t deal with the weight.

Any advice appreciated!

Hi Lucy, how did you get on with shoulder pain?
I’m 6 days PO and in agony with with my right shoulder, wondering if I’ve got a trapped nerve. Did the pain go by itself or did you see a doc or anything? Hope your has long gone, it’s such horrible pain

I’m nearly 5 weeks now and in my second week I had this for 2 days straight but I haven’t had it again since! Just take the pain killers they gave you and rest, should be fine within a few days xx

I had this from about 2 week post op for 3 weeks, im 6 weeks saturday. It was awful i had it around my left side alway around my shoulder blade xxx
