So many things are moved around during the surgery to get access that it is all over upper body pain I think, I don't recall anyone mentioning "bone pain" specifically. Just hurts everywhere for awhile.

plenty of pillows, recliner- many sleep in it for awhile after they get home as they can't lie down flat in bed, prepared meals in freezer, lots of fluids, take meds on time so pain stays under control.. all tips for recovery time

there's a couple threads with surgery tips -you can use the forum search to find them.
If you need help locating more info let us know here in your thread and someone can search for it and post the links.
