Pain shoulder blade

I had op Tuesday. Pain was getting easier but last night has been awful. I have an intense burning in my left shoulder blade which just won’t ease. I’ve dosed up all night and it’s still the same. I’m sure it la the way I’m propped up but when I’ve had this pain prev eve it did ease with pain relief. Anyone else had this ? Any advise I can’t cope with the pain and the lack of sleep x

Hey tracy i am 2 weeks post op and my left shoulder blade hurting so painful to. I didnt know if it was sleeping up right. Not being able to raise arms up or walking slightly hunched? X

It’s more than likely your sleeping position plus the way you will be carrying yourself, took me ages to straighten up especialy when i was in the house, you definately overcompensate for the pain by hunching so try and talk short outside walks to stop yourself doing it, it could also be trapped wind though, get some Windeze to rule that out xxx

I agree with Claudine Hun I had same pain and it was the way I was hunching up and carry my self it eased after a few weeks for me when I got use sleeping n the weight of them although they didn’t feel heavy to me my body thought diff for a while lol xxx

I think it must be the sleeping position, i’ve had a similar pain and have hardly slept for the past 2 weeks! I’ve been using a hot water bottle round my shoulder blade which helps ease it slightly xx

Thank you ladies. Just woken for pain meds and I don’t have it. I had small walks in the garden yesterday so I think it helped . Trying to relax my shoulders as well. Just can’t wait to feel normal again and sleep flat. Xx
