Hi Garry..

Not sure what you mean here.. do you only have aches down the rh side of your chest or in addition to the pain from the incision healing.. As a number of nerves are cut on the chest crack the exact area where the pain seems to be coming from can vary greatly for a few months.. I had it initially in the very top of my breastbone - nearly in my throat (!) for a few weeks...

 

cheers
