What Causes Shoulder Pain While Having Heart Problem?

I am a 24 year old critical heart patient. I am 5'9 female weighing 130 lbs. I had a heart didease called endocarditis which grew MRSA. Long story, I now have a reconstructed heart and a mechanical aortic valve. I have had a really uncomfortable left shoulder pain for 3 days.....are the two related?

Hi,

Most probably it is just a joint pain. Take Ibuprofen 400 mg, if it doesn't help, then see a doctor to be examined to find out the cause.

Take care
