All,
I am now a couple days short of two weeks since my AVR surgery (10/17) and have had one issue since returing home I was wondering if anyone else had experienced. That is, sharp, imntense pain in my right shoulder. Not as bad as my sternum can get, but pretty bad for sure. I did not experience this until I got home from the hospital, but it has come and gone regularly and is now the leading cause of discomfort for me, especially when I try to sleep. So far, heating pads and cold packs help some. Only a big dose of my pain med stops it all together when it is bad.
I did a search of the forum and came up with a few responses, but wanted to see if anyone lately has had the same problem and what may be done for it. Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
