What Causes Severe Joint And Muscle Pain After Stent Placement?
I had three stents in last Friday and have to get more in on the other side of the chest in 4 weeks. I am getting constant joint and muscle pain in my arms shoulders wrists and legs since. I get the odd sharp but brief chest pain too. Is this normal after an angioplasty?

Hello,
It is not related to the stent.
Most probably it could be an early sign of arthritis.
As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a rheumatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
