I to had a quad by-pass in 2001 with complications. After release from hospital i was rushed back to hospital with high fever. It turned out to be an infected sternum that needed to be removed and needed a muscle flap. Unfortunately I have been inj and out of hospitals for severe constant pain. In Feb 09 they removed more of the sterum because of constant pain. Now they want to reopen me once again. with no guarantees to relief the pain. I have been on opiates, patches and morphine for all these years. I know take dilaudid 4mg every 4hrs. If i move the wrong way particularly at night I can feel these torning burning sensations. I have yet to find a doctor who has come up with a plan that will help. So I'm not sure there is a procedure that will return to me to a better life since the removal via muscle flap.                                                                                         Dennis
