After having my heart bypass in Feb and having back and shoulder pain since it was diagnosed today as Scapular dyskinesis.
Apparently it's quite common after chest surgery and I have been prescribed physio and acupuncture.
Has anyone here had this issue and how long did it take to resolve? I find painkillers don't really help but a hot water bottle or heat patch does so if anyone who has had this issue can offer any suggestions I would be very grateful.
I suffered pretty badly with shoulder pain in both shoulders, was not diagnosed as Scapula Dyskinesia, I had restricted movement in both arms when raising them or putting behind my back.
I ended up having cortisone injections in both, followed by physio exercises, took 2/3 months to get back to normal, but no problems since.
