Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain After CABG X5 Surgery
I had a CABGX5 on 27 August thd year. There have been a lot of complications towardd recovery. For the last one week I am experiencing excruciating pain i my righ shoulder blade. Like elephants jumping on my back. Painkillers only work for a hour and the pain starts again. Any remedy?
Hello, as the pain is excruciating and has occurred suddenly, heart might not be the first cause, however acute myocardial infarction should be ruled out with an ecg.. In high probability it may be a nerve pain, due to some Co existing cervical spondylitis. Do rule out the same. Tab dolo /crocin 650, if not effective ultracet would be safest option considering your heart condition. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
