Is It Normal To Have Pain In Abdomen, Neck And Shoulder After Laproscopic Left Femoral Hernia Surgery?
I had laparoscopic left femoral hernia surgery three days ago and am feeling pain in my neck and shoulder. I also feel the pain coming right up from my abdominal area to my neck and shoulder when I cough or even when I go to the washroom. Is this normal? What causes this pain?

Hi,
Pain experienced at the shoulder tip is a common occurrence after Lap Surgery. It is due the presence of residual gas. This symptom will automatically disappear as soon as the gas gets absorbed. Nothing to worry at all.
