Hi I had a section a week ago and about 3 days later I developed right shoulder pain, at tip and down upper right arm. Was worse on movement and initially I wondered if it was just due to the way I had been lying in bed, how I had been holding baby and feeding overnight etc but now been reading about shoulder pain after section.... Today I just feel achy across upper back and have ongoing shoulder tip pain. I've been drinking peppermint tea today as read could be due to trapped wind after section. Is this common? Does it sound like the pain of trapped wind? Any suggestions for treatment? How long does it last?
