I believe johnwen is a cardiologist and I will ask Dr. Levy for his opinion. Johnwen?
The book you might want to explore is STOP AMERICA'S #1 KILLER (livonbooks.com) by Dr. Levy. It gave me an appreciation of how "complex" plaques form over the long term, (they can form their own capillaries, etc.) and if this is what is going on, that it will take some time to resolve. (The description reminded me of a tumor or callous, and resolving them will take time as a callous might be resolved on the skin.)
How much vitamin C are you taking? And do you know your upper bowel tolerance? When intake of vitamin C is increased, several enzyme systems are activated that Pauling said use up vitamin C, so paradoxically, increasing vitamin C might create a deficiency in the blood in some people. (This is the basis of the so called rebound effect).
The answer is to slowly increase your vitamin C intake to just under bowel tolerance (and if your tolerance is less than 1 gram you should consider a liposomal form, e.g. Lypo-C)
My recent "ache" in the general area turned out to be related to gall stones/gallbladder.
