<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am suffering from an acute case of small bowel infraction, after being rescued off the Appalachian Trail 230 short of my target. Two surgeries in a Maine hospital to remove 50 of my small and a portion of my colon. When I was discharged and returned home to CT, I only had 2 days before waking up to extreme pain that the Vicodin would not touch. Another 4 day stay at Yale, today was discharge date. My px is I have zero pain at the incision site or related organs, but I have extreme pain in my left shoulder. Anterior between the deltoid and extending halfway up my neck. When it flairs up it brings me to tears. A resident at Yale says sometimes bubbles move through out the body, but can it give such pain too? Not all the time just once a day for the past 3 days. Yale just medicated me, but I m home now. What can I do?  <response>: hi Hope this msg finds u in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. I wish u speedy recovery from your surgery.u seem to have strained some sort of soft tissues in shoulder region. I suggest u should get a X-ray done to find out whats wrong. Take rest analgesics and anti-inflammatory tablets. Physiotherapy nothing to worry about. Hope your question has been answered. If u have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime.thanks Take care god bless
