Since placement of my stent LAD for 85% blockage no heart attack . I have developed chronic pain on left side of my body. First shoulder and arm. MRI showed some spinal compression and arthritic joint. Now I have pain in my left hip that can radiate up to my waist lower back or done into my leg side or front of thigh. I am active walking and swimming. Any connection to stent place Ent on left side. Right after stent placement I had an electric se station back of neck left side that radiated over head. MRI was norm. I find it odd the right side of my boy is fine.

Hi, it appears to be the less circulation of blood to the right side of the brain probably due to athirosclerosis. Spinal compression and arthritis can cause all the symptoms you have mentioned.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 5 consecutive days, and pain medications before the rest of the treatments are carried. Thank you.
