@moonboy did you do any massaging in the areas? I read if you massage the area and the incision after it’s healed it can help keep those tissues from sticking together and reduce those weird feelings. It’s scares the bajeebees out of me. 9.5 weeks out from OHS septal myectomy

@cash298 so the one thing I’ve done that has really helped the scar on the sternum is to brush it with a boars hair brush. I know it sounds strange, but it seems to stimulate the scar tissue and has dramatically reduced the pain. My wife thinks that my scar is much less prominent than it was right after I had surgery in 2015. I think she’s right it has faded tremendously and feels much better than initially did. I still get occasional pains where one of the wires is. I can literally spot it in my annual CT scan scan scans and whenever I have a chest x-ray. So I would try to brush the scar tissue gently at First up and down inside the side with that brush. It will stimulate the tissue and it’ll make it feel better. Peace.
