Yes, this is normal remember your heart has been through a lot. It will take time to heal. Rehab will help when you can start that. Make sure to ask your doctor about it. Hugs 🤗

Took me just over 1 year to stop using the pillow for pain. The worst of the pain I would say was 1 year. Good luck, it gets better.

I had some soreness in month 3 but not much. I am four months post surgery and have little to no soreness now.
