A member asked:
I had a cystectomy last friday evening to remove a golf ball size cyst. feeling a lot of pain in left shoulder and side. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes if laparoscopy: If it was done laparoscopically it is common for the gas instilled into the peritoneal cavity to cause diaphragm irritation with referred pain to the shoulder. This can be quite painful and last 2-3 days but will resolve spontaneously
