Painful collar bone

[Loobycare]

Hello everyone and I hope you are all feeling OK.Question: I had a heart attack last month and had a stent fitted.

Towards the end of last week I developed mild pain in my right collar bone. It is still there. I've tried researching it - to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this?

So Strange you mention this I have been feeling this exact pain on my left side like Im experiencing it right now but not sure what's causing it been happening for bout 6 months now well maybe more since about January. I mentioned to my consultant and he didn't seem concerned. Just so strange no idea what's causing it? 💔. So sorry to hear about your heart attack so recently aswell you poor thing 😔. Have you mentioned this to your cardiologist?? Or doctor and see what they think maybe causing it. In your position makes sense you would be concerned about it 💔. Researching it dosent help aswell I agree just a big mystery??

Hi there - thank you very much for responding. I haven't seen a doctor yet to ask, but I will do. It's so strange, but otherwise I am doing really well and feeling so much better since the stent was fitted.

I was in Spain when it all happened and they did look after me very well but it was a traumatic experience.

I understand that it's normal to be anxious about any pain but I know I shouldn't ignore things either. I'll let you know what my doctor says and thanks again for taking the time to read and reply.

I had / have the same kind of pain in my left shoulder blade since having a heart attack/stent last oct , my cardiac rehab nurse seemed to think I'd maybe pulled a muscle as I could feel abit of pain when turning my head to the left which I suppose makes sense but I thought it was abit strange as I was purposely not using my left arm much .Glad your feeling good, take care

Thank you very much for getting back to me. It does feel strange. I can't find a thing on line which describes this. I think I'll have to see my GP. I'll keep you updated.

Hi Loobycare, I am sorry to hear about your painful shoulder I hope that you can get it sorted asap. I have had a pain in my left collar bone for some time, but thought that it could just be arthritis because I broke my collar bone playing football when I was 18. I was recently diagnosed with angina after having chest pain for over a year,but now thinking back it may have something to do with the angina.If I were you I would ask your GP for a scan or xray, it is better to be safe than sorry.

take care,bludnut
