How Long After Surgery Does The Gas Pain Last?

November 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Pain

My surgeon told me I may have pain in my shoulder or diaphragm area following my surgery, due to the carbon dioxide they fill you up with. Anyone know how long this lasts, or how to get it to dissipate or exit faster?

    Oh yeah that was worse than the surgery site….it will be gone within 48hours…try a hot pack to ease the cramps from it…nothing I did made it go away quicker.
