Hi Lisha,

I agree with Jo, a few days out of this surgery is way too soon to be doing stretches. I didn't do much at all for the first month and if you do any stretching, it is best to do them in the shower under hot water but it is definitely too early for that.

Please don't push yourself as you can compromise the results of this surgery.

FYI: I had 2 first rib resections.
