It's been a year since my aortic valve repair surgery, but the stitches are still swollen and my chest area hurts a lot. Could this be normal or is there something I should be worried about? I also had an aortic aneurysm in the ascending aorta could that be related to the ongoing pain and swelling? What can I do to ease the discomfort?

Persistent swelling and pain post-surgery may suggest sternal wire issues or inflammation—get evaluated by your surgeon.
