Shoulder tip pain
I have excruciating pain in my right shoulder, midwife said it’s trapped air from when they were sewing me back up. It wakes me up out my sleep it’s so painful. I’m drinking peppermint tea, have chewing gum in all the time. Trying to walk about but I’m exhausted, any other tips? I had my baby 11 days ago and it’s ruining our time together I can’t even pick him up :(

I'm 6 months pp on the 14th.. I still have shoulder pain to this day!
Colpermin peppermint capsules get the gp to prescribe them. I would also think chewing gum would only add more air in your tummy? X

Hi! Student paramedic here. I definitely think this is worth a call to NHS 24. Shoulder tip pain can be associated with abdo problems - could well be trapped air as the midwife suggested but worth being properly investigated given you’re 11 days post surgery. Good luck 🤞🏻
