    I didn't know that clips were involved I thought it was wired up. I get what I think is muscle pain

      Don't know ,that's why I am asking. X-rays show up staples,and as I have been opened up twice, maybe my ribs would be a bit beaten up,

      putting in, taking out, and putting more in again I get a sore feeling,

      torso's aren't rigid ,ther is a lot of movement, and 10 years of horse 

      riding, gardening ,housework (yuk ) it may be possible that one has

      moved

      I haven't seen X Ray's so not sure I just assumed it was wired together I was only opened once when I had quadruple by pass 10 months ago . I just wish they told you what to expect as you went along wether you should do more do less . I don't know I think once we have the op we are sort of left on our own
