Hi, I am 24 hears old...I was diagnosed with ASD...my doctor told me I had a 30 mm linear defect in the secundum. I underwent open heart surgery in New Delhi 6 months ago. My surgery went well...however, recently, I have been experiencing a stretching pain. I have been having some stretching pain in left anterior axillary line( I used to have this kind of stretching pain before the surgery)....

Is there anything that I should worry about? I did a echocardiograph again. The reports came back normal. Is this something to worry about? Is the pain normal??

    Hi,

    Ive had open heart surgery and am 23 years old. Was this your first surgery?

    What do you mean by stretching pain?

    Down your scar?

      It's this pain that I had before going to the doctor and getting diagnosed with ASD. Im just worried...why this stretching pain is persisting even after surgery. Im not sure how I should elaborate about the character of the pain. It comes randomly and usually occurs on movement. I was basically fine after the surgery. However three months ago, I engaged in some outdoor sports...and then this pain started. sad

      Yes this was my first surgery.
