I have a 6 cm stent in my right jugular, and I have pain in my shoulder and hand. It used to be a lot worse, but now it is really bad when I get tired, usually in the evenings. It is definitely not a bone pain, but a muscular one. Could I benefit from physiotherapy or any exercises? Any thoughts?

Here's the thread from the original shoulder posters last year. Lots of shoulder pain from the Stanford group. Hope you find relief. Know that it's temporary, from the accessory nerve getting dinged during ballooning and stenting...
