What Causes Severe Pain In Arm And Shoulder Post Procedure For Heart Cath?
I had a heart cath thru my right wrist 2 wks ago. I have a Dr appt in one more week. My arm all the way up to my shoulder causes some pain, especially at night when sleeping. It s uncomfortable during the day - more between my wrist and elbow. I took some ibuprofen today for it at work. I do type a lot.... not sure if this is normal....
Give adequate rest, use soft pillow etc., if you type a lot can use painkiller spray if happening again. Once get follow up from your cardiologist with your ECG test results also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
