Cramps 1 year after surgery

Hi everyone

It’s now 51 weeks since I had my robotic surgery. I’ve started to experience cramp sensations around my sternum, which can take hours to fade. It usually starts early hours of the morning , say 3am. I don’t have the cramps every day but they are getting more frequent ... now weekly.

The pain is enough to stop me moving around and seems to make the whole of my chest ache...

The first happened in November then nothing until Feb but I’m anxious it’s getting worse?
