17. How old are they?

After a few months at the most they ought not be painful.
Did they use a rib spreader at any time during your bypass surgery?
Pain after a fracture is usually gone by two months or a bit more.
Do be aware that once fractured, a rib may well be more prone to breaking in the future.
Stay mobile but don't overdo.
Can you take deep enough breaths to keep yourself oxygenated?
A rollator is a good idea, old fractures or no. My hubby found his mighty handy with that seat he could rest on.
If you feel your old fractures are too bothersome, see your doc.
Advising somebody I have never seen is a bit problematical, as you may well imagine. Getting a second opinion from somebody you know, on whatever I opine about, is always a great idea. So yeah, if a problem is there, see your health professional.
