I had no such pain until after week four and it got worse each week. My chest, traps, scapula. My Primary doc prescribed methylprednisolone dosepack which knocked it out on day two but my BP spiked so he said to stop it. Pain came raging back. Surgeon's RN advised to take one steroid pill a day to finish it plus a new Rx for Colchisine. Felt fine until the steroid ran out two days ago and pain is back. I am now ten weeks post op and very discouraged that this is still an issue. Otherwise, everything is pretty much normal, walking a lot when pain isn't severe and resting HR is in the 70's.
Anyone else experience this?
