Hi All,
a bit of a strange one. I had Hysterectomy and BSO end of March.I have been experiencing a lots of right sided deep ache/pain just below my armpit and scapula. Consultant told me that anaesthetist had given me a side block to reduce post op diaphragmatic pain as had operation laprascopically. I have no idea what a side block is and if this caused the pain or it could be referred nerve pain. Of course it may not be related at all.
Any one else experiencing this, got any ideas or suggestions?
Best wishes to all,
Honey
Hi Hovehoney I had the same pain as you and it will settle after a while although after the op I had trouble finding a comfortable position in bed - either my stomach hurt or my shoulder but it went eventually.
Hi, Hovehoney
All the suggestions are helpful and it’s probably nothing to worry about, but why don’t you ask the experts on this site for some more information.
They are very helpful and will know where to find the answers you need or will be able to tell you who else to ask.
Lots of love

Hi GBear,
thank you for catching up with me and Gusbun that is a great suggestion. I am still getting discomfort especially under the right arm. I am waiting for the result of a mammogram. I will ask the experts, I would like to know if it is connected to the side block, if it is then it will put my mind at rest. Otherwise, I am delighted how well I feel, I am much more energetic and managing work and life what a joy. Counting my blessings and thankful for you all.
Best wishes to all,
Honey
