I've not had trouble with my sternal wires except for a wee bit of pain from them with certain motions.
Rob Sparling Wow. I did not know that was a possibility. Ouch!

Heath Knight I have a broken wire in my sternum. I am a little more than a year from my surgery date. I had fallen against my deck this summer and had an x-ray to be safe, that's when they found the broken wire. I was told not to worry it shouldn't get any worse. as long as your doc is ok with it you should be fine. Hopefully everything works out for you. Good luck and keep on healing

Bob Johnston Waiting to see surgeon for 40 days until appointment. Minimal information supplied from his assistant to date on restrictions. Can’t really find much information on the issue other than possible surgical error. Having clicking sounds now with some nitmsl daily movements like coughs, bending over etc.
Catie B So sorry you have to wait so long to get this checked!
