I don't know why I haven't thought of this until now but I was present for  
my daughter's C-sec and she had both her arms restrained on a board out to the  
side and even during the section she c/o shoulder pain, poor baby.  It's no  
wonder moms' shoulders hurt after birth--arnica homeopathically and for this 
mom  topically could help.  Homeopathics taken by mouth work best soon after 
the  trauma, but the gel applied to sore muscles feels wonderful.  I concur with 
 others that a chiro adjustment or some form of body work could help, too.
