I'm about 9 months out from mitral, tricuspid repair & maze surgery. I still have burning, deep itching pain in my sternotomy scar .It gets most uncomfortable/intense at night. Seems worse after lifting, or possibly swelling. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this? Thanks

My scar is hypertrophic. I am 18 months out and still get some uncomfortable itching at times. I am considering consulting a plastic surgeon. I will let you know how that goes. Clare from St Louis
