A member asked:

I am withdrawing from vicodin on top of the recent laparoscopy, - as i was on it for a few months due to a knee injury. the shoulder pain is burning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shoulder pain: Shoulder pain is common after laparoscopy. It is caused by gas that is trapped between your liver and your diaphragm. Unfortunately, you can't get all the gas out no matter how hard you try. It has nothing to do with your withdrawal. It should resolve as your body absorbs the gas over the next few days. Hope this helps.
