The nurse told me that shoulder pain is the biggest complaint post surgery. If this has been your experience, how long did your shoulder pain last? I know the shortness of breath can last for months but this shoulder pain is unbearable.</P> Fri, 10 May 2024 00:54:43 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Shoulder-pain-after-open-heart-surgery/m-p/8435645#M257518 monicakm 2024-05-10T00:54:43Z
