I've always described my full sternotomy as not painful just very uncomfortable. It's hard to imagine that lack of pain till you've been there. Mini sternotomies can actually be more painful even if they heal faster. Good luck with the rest of your recovery and take it easy. Your body has been through a lot that you can't see and needs time to heal.
