What Causes Lower Back Pain And Shoulder Pain After Ventral Hernia Surgery?

I had ventral hernia surgery yesterday. Very little pain. Taking tylenol. But sleeping is difficult. I am on my back and have lower back pain. Sitting up in bed gives me shoulder and upper back pain. What can I do to be more comfortable? Thank you Karen

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, post surgical pain is very common phenomenon and soon it will be okay, and of course you can try any NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drug ) but it need to be taken in very sever pain condition otherwise try to bare the pain, stop worrying about this, hope this information helps.
