My Sternum Didn’t Heal After Open-Heart Surgery — How I Finally Fixed It

After my open-heart surgery, my sternum didn’t heal properly. I was dealing with pain, instability, and fear that my chest bone would never recover. In this video, I share my real experience of sternal nonunion (when the breastbone doesn’t fuse after surgery), what caused it, and the exact steps I took to finally repair it — naturally and medically.

If you’ve had open-heart surgery, a sternotomy, or are struggling with chronic sternum pain or slow bone healing, this story might help you understand what’s happening and what options exist for recovery.

💬 In this video you’ll learn:
• Why the sternum sometimes fails to heal after open-heart surgery
• How I discovered I had sternal nonunion
• The lifestyle, nutrition, and medical actions that helped me rebuild bone strength
• What I wish I had known earlier in my recovery

If you’re going through something similar, know that healing is possible — but it takes the right diagnosis, patience, and consistent care.
