Since I had a sternectomy I have had some burning.
I have also had bruises. I broke a few ribs, when I FELL DOWN.
I had a mechanical aortic value put in 06/14/2005.
Also one cabg. Also an aortic anuorism was removed.
After the surgery my chest broke the wires twice. Then they tried a plate and screws, that also pulled out. They then did a sternectomy and grafted my stomach and pectorial muscles across my chest. I had lost over 50 lbs with the surgery since I was in the hospital in icu for 2 months. Since then I have put the weight back on.
Do you think my weight, could be the problem I have the burning?
I am over 300 lbs now.
