Michael Meyer  Mr. Blank:
DId you have minimally invasive surgery? I did have such a procedure and am 5 months post op and still have numbness in my right pec. The numbness is diminishing and I did participate in cardio rehab which included a heavy dose of weight training. I have continued that weight training post rehab. I am not sure if that is diminishing the numbness, but thought I would mention it. I experienced numbness, but would not characterize as uncomfortable.

E Blank  numbness and pain. Was treated for that with iv antiobiotics. Supposedly gone-but still have numbness. Just read your story--wow alot! Hope you are now doing super!

Joseph Ballett  Well i hope you are starting to turn the corner soon and feel better. I am do a bit better ribs still move a little and i still have a little pain in the chest but each day I do feel i make progress

  I can't help with your question, but awesome to hear of your successful surgery and that you are recovering :-)

Terrie Syvertsen  Hello there. Yes others share the pain you are describing and I myself have begun having pain under the arm that goes around up the right side into the chest after lifting my dog when he lost his balance and needed lifting(he is old and has hip problems). Not a bright move on my part as I am 9 wks. post op and the sternum is still healing. This is what my cardiologist says of these pains- body is still healing and even attempting to sleep on my sides will produce this type of pain as my body is telling me to give it more time and work on gentle stretching. It will go away is a bit according to my cardiologist. Body is healing! Good luck.
