I am wondering whether any of you who had a sternotomy and are at least four months or more out from your surgery, have experienced some little pains inside your chest. My surgeon used rigid sternal fixation, and I've noticed just recently that if I move a certain way, I feel a tiny twinge or pinch. This occurs sometimes if I've "hunched over" to reach something, but it also occurs randomly, when I've moved a certain way. I'm curious whether this is common, or if it warrants a question to the surgeon or cardiologist. Thanks for sharing any insight you may have.

I am 4 months out and do also have occasional twinges in my sternum. I notice it most when I reach back with my left arm but it also occurs at random other times. Mine I feel on the upper sternum, but I haven't done a lot of twisting of my lower body yet.
