Hello everyone!! The 9th marks 6 months since my mitral valve repair. What a journey, tears, joy, fear, sadness, frustration, but finally, physical repair and spiritual strength. Wishing all of you warriors continued success and healing and may we have our best life!!
Mabel, thank you for the post. This gives me hope that everything will get better. I'm 5 weeks post-op and although I know it's still somewhat fresh I want to feel better and be more independent. It's drives me crazy not being able to jump in my car and go... Read more.

Kevin: It does get better before you know it, you will be with friends, doing all the things you did before.

Mabel! I am excited to read your post. Not the same surgery, but I am having the painful shoulder spasms and other areas! How long did they take to go away? If you're playing golf (go girl!) I assume they've dissipated?
Hello! they finally stopped for me at about 4 months. Awful pain, putting me in the ER twice. The only thing that worked was toridal via IV. I just tried not to do much lifting arms exercises and that seemed to ease them. I hope you are getting better
