I just got out of the hospital Saturday. Last few months, my left
shoulder has been a problem. Can't sleep on it, just aches for no
reason. Pressure inside the shoulder blade helped. Ageing is terrible
and I figured "arthur-itus", rotator cuff or something. Last few days,
anything arobic would cause chest "pressure". The doc said that wasn't
critical yet but we started looking into it. A problem would be if I
had that "pressure" feeling at rest. That was Monday. Thursday night,
that "pressure" woke me up at midnight. A long night in ER later,
checked in for testing and an angiogram Friday afternoon. They found 1
99% blockage in one major heart vessel (I didn't get the one). A 5mm
stent (not used often so the 5 isn't manufactured with the chemical
coating) later and all is fine. The shoulder pain has also gone. I
just I just missed the message for a while. Any odd pain should be
checked, I guess. The doctor was telling me about one fellow that had a
toothache and the dentist told him there was no problem with the tooth.
The hospital told him about his heart attack!
Be careful, friends, with those oddities in aches and pains. I was
VERY lucky.

BTW, gald to hear your back with it, Gunner. I am sorry to read all the
trash that has been in response to the thread. When one takes a
stand, especially a logical stand, the other side can only be illogical
or throw trash. Keep on keepin' on.
