Terrible shoulder pain from laparoscopy 1 week later, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info..: What was the surgery done for? Some shoulder pain after laparoscopy can be due to irritation of the diaphragm which usually resolves over a few days. Pain medication from your surgeon usually resolves this discomfort. If the pain persists then call & see your surgeon for an exam.
