Civita Fahey Yes that was the worst part of it all for me. I had no sternum pain, just pain in my shoulder and back.. I said to the nurse are you sure they didn't operate on my shoulder ! :-)
Sue Comitti Thanks for your replies. Has anyone got any ideas on how to help ease the pain

I am from: London, United Kingdom
