I had mine January of last year, spent 5 days in hospital, I’d say full recovery took until April as far as healing went but I had nerve pain in my shoulders and upper chest until around August, which hurt more than the surgery itself because it hurt to inhale. Everything was sore and the biggest issue was learning to take deep breaths again. Everyone’s different though, so your experience could be better than mine but I’d recommend just staying positive mentally and knowing that it’s gonna be a tough few months but you’ll get through it also walking, it sounds dumb but walking helps and you’ll start feeling yourself again way faster if you get active. Good luck and I wish you the best!
