I am post surgery by 8 days for triple bypass and mitral repair. Have had severe L shoulder pain with certain movement. Comes with clicking and popping. Incision pain is almost non existent. What’s up with that? Is there a good way to relieve this pain?

Martin Smith Shoulder pain. Yes, I'm 20 mos. post-op and my left shoulder is "tender" for want of a better term. Range of motion of the shoulder was reduced immediately after my operation. Still feels like a bruise, and still announces itself in spite of my gradual resumption of upper-body resistance exercises. It hasn't interfered with paddling, and I can once again do pull-ups, but it's not clear to me why my shoulder has been affected by my heart surgery. I haven't aggressively pursued answers as daily life does get in the way of actively pursuing answers to questions. 🥱 I suspect that gentle movement and light exercise are keys to tamping down symptoms. Good luck, Dan!
