Only just seen your posts NoM as had no internet since last week. So sorry to read your news about the baby, my thoughts are with you. Re: bloating and wind pain after laporoscapy I had the same when I had similar op to see if my fallopian tubes were blocked (and other infertility tests) I found as Sqad suggests that lying flat massaging my tummy gently away from the stitches relieved some of it. Also massage back at bottom of spine too. I still get similar pain now due to IBS and find that Ibuprofen is the best thing to take. The shoulder pain for me which I understand is referred pain, lasted for several days but it does get better gradually. Thinking of you NoM - hope you feel better soon Love Ann x
