What Causes Pain In Right Breast And Shoulder Area After An Open Heart Surgery?

I had open heart surgery 10/19/20/11. I have had a severe pain in my right breast/shoulder area since then. The nurse said something about inflammation but I'm waiting for her call back to answer my questions about diagnosis and treatment. Can you help me with that info?
