Hi, no expert and would suggest you speak to your GP as may not be due to the procedure. Best Wishes. Su
Thanks for the reply.
Hi, Just thinking possibly a connection with nerve pathways. Some people experience jaw pain/discomfort during an angina or heart attack therefore possibly the stent has aggravated a nerve which would eventually subside. Best Wishes ,Su
Have to admit, first time using the site and not finding it entirely clear. Glad to hear you are going to attend a Rehabilitation Unit.
