My husband had a stent put in about 3 weeks ago. Since being home from the hospital, he has been in great pain. The pain is in his chest in the area of where the stent is. Every 1/2 hour, he gets this "flash" of unbearable pain. Does anyone know anything about this? Is this going to go away? I am tired of the docs answers about what should happen, what may happen - I would like to know what he actually going through and how long this may last. I know everyone is different, but, "been there, done that" is much more reassuring. Thanks to all.
