Laparoscopy left me with shoulder pain too!

Montgomery, MD: "Re: Laparoscopy left me with shoulder pain too!" Reply: Claudia Twisdale RN: "Re: Laparoscopy left me with shoulder pain too!" Hello- I had a dermoid cyst removed laparoscopically last Tuesday (one week plus a day ago), and I have to say that the worst part of this whole lap business is the pain left by the gas they use to space out your inners. I was pretty well immobilized by the pain in my stomach, rib cage, collar bones, and shoulder blades. Man oh man, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck! It feels a little better each day, which is good because I've had about enough of the pain killers. (whole other batch of problem there). My only problem now is my right shoulder. It still hurts like a son-of-a-gun! Especially when I lie down, and forget about sleeping on my right side-which use to be my favorite sleeping position. It doesn't seem to be getting better. Is it possible that gas has been trapped in there because I'm right handed, and this is a very active area of my body? If so, how do I untrap it? I'm trying not to baby it because I'm hoping to work it out. Very tired of the pain though. Please let me know any suggestions to work out the last of the gas. -- Wendy with the sore shoulder.
