[|Human|] My husband had open heart surgery 4/1/11.  We are now 2.5 months out.  WIthin the last week he has started to have lots of chest pain, soreness in shoulders, neck area.  About 2 wks. ago he helped put up fresh veggies and was lifting containers that was quite heavy.  He did not report any pain, etc as he was doing this.  The abaove systems started about 7-10 days later.  Tylenol has helped some with the pain.  Hes tried ibuprofen and that seems to help alot.  We think this could be inflamation being as the ibuprofen helps.  We go back to Jacksonville FL tomorrow (6/20/11) to see cardiologist.  On Tuesday (6/21) they are planning to do an angiogram and put stents in his eliact arteries to get better blood flow to his legs.  Question:  Do you think its okay for him to take any Ibuprofen prior to Tuesdays stent placement?Also he is 59 yrs, 56, Weighs 144, is diabetic (low sugar), also has pace maker and takes meds for high blood pressure.  His surgery consisted of 4 by passes.
