Thank you so much for your reply. I just told my husband. I said, it might not make the bump feel better right now, but it should make your mind feel better. Again, it's good to know that it's normal.

I had my surgery in February of 2008 and I had a similar issue, a bump on the upper chest and painful scar going down the chest. This takes a very long time to go away, approximately two to three years. It was so bad initially that I couldn't wear a rough piece of clothing for a while. I have been fine now for quite some time. I used vitamin A&D ointment to keep the area moist.

I'm guessing your doc ordered a chest xray to diagnose? Seems simple enough.

My husband had a 3 artery cabg 1 1/2 years ago. He has a small bump at the top of his chest. About 6 months ago, he told his Dr, it was sore & bothered him. The Dr said it was where all the rib cage wiring came together & would go away. I have noticed him rubbing it lately & he said the bump is still quite painful & bothers him. Has anyone else had issues with this.
