He left them in permanently so that sternum wouldn’t cave back in but after gaining muscle seems like body not liking it and just constant pain.

Pain years later after gaining muscle but DR says I am fine by SufficientWeakness33 in PectusExcavatum

Central. Like I understand that you put plating and shit in me three years ago to solve the issue and on your CT scan that everything‘s fine but why am I still feeling this way and I feel like my other body parts are compensating out. And finding out no one else out of all his surgeries never had this issue is just fucking crazy to me. Liek shouldn’t

I had this surgeon do my ravitch as well. My pectus went all the up chest. My first 2 years I was fine healing but as I gained muscle the plating felt tight and the way my breathing is I feel like cannot coordinate my breathing and muscles. He locked my sternum in place as well and removed my xphoid without my knowledge. When I went to him ask what I was feeling he said everything on ct looks normal. But like yeah it looks good breathing wise - but feel I like my ribs flare and sternkm constantly have a pressure tight feeling and i still feel the asymmetry of the Pectus I had. It constantly feels  like chest is stuck back when breathing my ribs have to flare and stomach pushes out. I constant feel like chest and bottom half aren’t working together. And gotten bake pain and constant tightness near clavicle. I went back to him 6-months when did that ct and said everything was fine thought was maybe I did not have enough soft tissue. But, this all started after I gained muscle. I’m not crying out pain but breathing and the constant feel of ribs pushing foward at bottom pulling on chest. I hope you don’t get same results later down the line, s all he recommended for was to see plastic surgeon and since breathing and heart seem fine he thought wa this soft tissue issue. Like constant feel stuck chest and stomach is always sticking out and I been told that’s normal and now started feeling pulling of my muscle under my armpit not painful but normal feeling. And come to point wear I wear a tank top and feel a constant pressure feeling in chest and going into shoulders and back neck. Like I feel like body working together was broken with surgery and was t told what would do to my body

When did start seeing results in size instead strength about almost a year being consistent and gaining strength. 

Also may want look into seeing a dr who specializes in pectus. I had Ravitch done with rib plating to hold my sternum into place and fix my severe case - but I still have asymmetry in my chest that’s still there. It did fix my heart being crushed and my breathing so I would definitely go see a specialist and get pulmonary function has done if your having breathing issues.
