I’m no expert but I do know that your diaphragm shares nerves with your shoulder. And often when endo is growing on the diaphragm you can get pain in either shoulders.

When you have a laparoscopic they pump your abdomen full of gas to separate the organs and move/see more freely around. Afterward when the gasses are trying to escape and push up on the diaphragm people often complain of shoulder tip pain x

Hi! I also have pain near the shoulder blade, but I also have sciatic pain and so I was told that it could be related to the sciatica. I will be getting a Lap soon so hopefully I'll be able to figure it out. I was advised to get massages.

Hope you can solve your pain!

With kindness
