Why is it always me?

I had my sonohysterogram yesterday, and it was all clear, which is good. 

However, the RE inserted bubbles during the procedure to check my tubes, and I started feeling left shoulder pain during the procedure, which I thought was just because I was straining a little to see the monitor.  However, as the night when on and today, I've been experience extreme pain in both my shoulders and one side of my neck.

 I looked online, and found others who had shoulder pain after their SHG, so I called the number they gave in case I was having problems, and the doctor on call said that the bubbles are probably what is causing this pain.  He told me to elevate my hips, and to call again if it doesnt go away by tomorrow, or if I develop a fever or other symptoms.

 Ugh, why do I have to be in the less than 1% who have a problem after a SHG?

I am sorry too, your pain sounds like the pain I had when I had my laparascopic surgery this summer, the pain in my shoulder was extremely painful until it passed.

Feel better!

Thanks, the doctor on the phone said it is common with that type of surgery, but he seemed a bit surprised that the SHG caused it.  At least I know the cause of my pain now, which is a bit of relief in itself.
