The ortho surgeon wanted a clearance, ekg & stress test. Didn't pass either one. Dx infero lateral wall ischemia. Rx carvedilol 12.5 x 2 a day. Waiting on results of Ct of chest.
I just want my arm fixed , 9 months now, going crazy w/pain. Can't sleep! Is there anyway they can put me to sleep safely? Dumb question! I'll croak before I get the arm fixed! Thanx XXXXXXX
