Radical hysterectomy (trapped wind)

Hi everyone, had my radical hysterectomy on the 10th, everything went well and been discharged. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on the trapped wind. It's all in my shoulder and it's absolute agony never imagined trapped wind to be this painful x 

  • Hi Jen281,

    I'm sorry to read that this is causing you difficulties. To be honest I'm not sure on any specific ways to manage this, other than to suggest general movement/light exercise could be helpful if this is possible. There may be more specific exercises that could be helpful. To get advice though I would suggest speaking to your doctor if it's causing ongoing problems.

    If anyone here has experience or advice to share, then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
