I Still Have Pain In My Left Shoulder. Any Treatment For This ?
I have pain in my shoulder that wasn t there before my heart attack last October.? October 20th of last year I had a heart attack. I still have pain in my left shoulder when I reach overhead with my left arm. Do you think it s related to my past heart attack or what because I have never injured my left shoulder ? I was mostly concerned about possible nerve damage from the heart attack.
