Suggest Treatment For Xiphoid Pain After Bypass Surgery
I had bypass surgery one year ago. since then I have extreme xiphoid pain and no one seems to be able to help me?? Been to a Thoracic Heart Dr. which did my surgery, he won t help me, had lung surgery, had a Thoracic lung Dr., he won t help me?? My family Dr. has given me 3 steroid shots in 3 months, helps for a week. Help.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that xiphoid pain can stay for longer time sometimes. You can use low dose pain killer and hot fomentation to get relief.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
