Chest/sternal pain

[Brokenhip]

Thanks for the concern, I am actually following the the same exercise program we had in rehab. They put us on bikes day one!?

Yes, stationary bike is fine. My surgeon suggested I wait 12 weeks before cycling outdoors in case of a fall & what that may do to an incompletely healed sternum.

I feel the pain just thinking about a fall!

I'm 4 months now and meeting my cardiologist this week. My surgeon told me at my 6 week check up not to cycle on a real bike for 12 weeks due to leaning on the bars plus the vibrations from the road surface passing up through my arms to my sternum. He was OK with an exercise bike.
