For the last few weeks have had really bad neck and shoulder pains all on left side .Have spoken to heart nurse. More tablets .I lost part of the heart muscle when I had a heart attack in January. This pain has got worse over time. Tablets dont help muscle creams dont do any thing some time I can not lift my left arm . Feel tired all the time no get up and go. Dont want to go up to the hospital .just in case it's something stupid. Have tried to live with it but no one can tell me if it's connected to my h.f.

Hi Les5. I have been getting this quite a bit lately, like you only on the left side, I thought the same is this just another thing I have to put up with and is this connected to my Heart??? Anyway, rather than go back to the Doctor, I spoke to the Pharmacist, he recommended Voltarol. Personally, I find it excellent but please don't take my word for it and check with someone beforehand.

Ah right. I really don't think you have much choice other than to go back to your Doctor for further investigation then. Unless someone else here can help you otherwise. You never know!
