In the last week or so I've acquired pretty noticeable pain on the right side, to the right of my sternum and also my right shoulder blade. There's nothing visible and I have no fever, but it hurts like crazy, particularly when I try to get settled in bed. It's a bit tender even though there's nothing to see. What I can't figure out is where this pain came from since I've been careful about the lifting restrictions, etc., and everything was fine before. Any input would be helpful! Also, the pain (and an odd, not painful, clicking inside near the top of the sternum) seem related to breathing in.........So far I haven't called my doc since the surgeon is in Boston and I'm in NC, plus, when I went to my cardio here everything was fine and both x-ray and echo were okay (pleural effusion gone).
