Suggest Remedy For Severe Chest, Shoulder And Back Pain

Hi, I had a mitral valve repair 3 years ago, having the chordae replaced. I also had a large Cardiac Tamponade, and ended up in ITU. For the past year I am having severe chest, shoulder and back pain, causing waves of pain spasms. There is an area at the top of the sternum, which when I put pressure on causes pain.This is also at the top of the chest incision.
