What Causes Severe Left-sided Shoulder Pain Post Knee Surgery?
Yesterday I woke up with severe pain in my left shoulder. I had knee replacement surgery 3 weeks ago. I have been taking Tylenol and hydrocodone or Oxycodone for the knee pain mostly at night. The pain in my shoulder is excruciating and it only improves when I take the pain meds for a couple of hours at most, and then it comes back. I have tried a tennis ball, ice,heat and it isn t helpingI i can t sleep for very long and I am crying from the pain what is going on?

Hello,
It is not related to knee surgery.
As a first like management you can take analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
