What Causes Left-sided Chest Pain After Knee Surgery?

This is not heart attack!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your pain is definitely not related to heart attack. Heart attack pain will not last 3days and resolve spontaneously. This is a muscular skeletal pain and can be addressed by pain medications.
While waiting on the upcoming appointment: if you have more percocet, continue to take. If you don't, a combination of tylenol 1000mg every 8hours and Ibuprofen 600mg every 8hours would help relief this pain. Massage can offer great relief as well. The numbness is transient, related to the inflamed muscles and will eventually regress fully.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish yo well. Feel free to follow up with me as you please. Let me know what your primary care doctor finds after your visit.
