Hi, thank you for your reply. I have much the same daily problems as yourself to contend with, nausea etc. I went to a pain clinic on Tuesday and as a last resort was put on reboxetine. Does this work for anyone else? How were you with your second heart surgery? My consultant wasn't too keen on a second session but at that point it was only 6 weeks post op. for my first, I hope that things will be different now as the tricuspid is now at severe level. Always something eh? hey ho not to worry, I hope that you continue to do well, all the best.
