Suggest Treatment For Pain On Left Shoulder Down The Chest After Mitrovalve Repair
I had open heart surgery 10 weeks ago to repair my mitrovalve. I have had very little sleep since and can narrow down the pain to my left collar bone area just to the side of where they cut through my breast bone. The collar bone at the end on the left side is twice the size of the right collar bone and painful when my shoulder is lifted or almost any position I try to sleep in. The pain radiates to my left shoulder and down my chest over my heart. I've tried to be patient, but the loss of sleep is causing my migranes and stress levels to go way up. I can take the pain during the day, but it wakes me up after about 2 hours of sleep without fail.
