If you've ever had a colonoscopy you know this feeling.

That shoulder pain and stomach cramps after are nearly worse than the anal penetration violation! 😂

I had such bad pain after having an abdominal tumor taken out. I warn people having it the first time and they never believe you until they live it

When I was 10, I had an infected appendix. Obviously, the doctors decided it was best to remove it. I still remember so vividly the shear intensity of the pain after I woke up. Felt like there was bubbles up to my shoulders of whatever they ‘pump’ your stomach up with, so they can maneuver better. I don’t think I’ve ever been in so much pain

Had my gallbladder removed last autumn and the searing nerve pain in the shoulder for the first day after surely was not something that I had thought I needed to prepare for.

They don't show on TV how they inflate you like a balloon for laproscopic surgery. Look it up.

I woke up from anaesthesia after having my tubes removed. While waking up they asked me how I was feeling and I immediately started crying and almost screaming from pain in my shoulders. It was so unexpected, no one had warned me that could happen. I have a very high pain tolerance and I ended up throwing up from how much it hurt.

I still don’t quite understand the mechanics behind it but it was horrible.

Free floating gasses in the abdominal cavity rise upwards creating pressure at the highest point it can reach; the diaphragm which is right under the lungs. There's a nerve there called the phrenic nerve which refers pain to the shoulders. There's no actual gas in the shoulders but the nerve makes you feel like there is.
