7 years ago I had triple bypass surgery. I have always had pain since op tried to contact surgeon he ignored all my letters. Just lately it’s got a lot worse and feels like I’m being crushed Doctor said got to put up with it or try going on the waiting list for pain clinic, I’ve now been diagnosed with A.F and I feel this is being caused by this operation damage anyone else had similar problems
