Why Does My Arm Hurt After An Open Heart Surgery?
right arm aches mostly at night...I had open heart surgery 6 months ago and my right arm has not been the same since...every night as soon as I get in bed it starts a dull but very anoying ache ...I tried taking tylenol and it doesn't help...my hand seems to be swollen for a few hours after I get up in the morning....what could be causing this pain

first possibility I can think, probably some small nerves might have been damaged or compressed during surgery.
so you can try nerve vitamin like neurobion forte once a day and asked your physician for nerve stabilizer like pregabalin.
