[|Human|] I recently had a heart attack, about 3 weeks ago and have since given up smoking with the help of a nicotine patch. I am experiencing muscle pain in my shoulders, I have since been back to the cardiologist and this pain is not associated with my heart. Could it be associated with the patch?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the shoulder can be secondary to musculoskeletal origin. It is not because of the nicotine patch. You can take an analgesic with muscle relaxant like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase respectively. Give hot fomentation over the shoulder. Pain will subside in 3 days. If it is not subsiding then consult a general physician and get it evaluated. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
