Dr. Donahue often does the pec minor with the first rib resection and scalenectomy is my understanding. Did you not also have this done? Six months isn't that far out, I think it really takes a year to return to "normal". What are your symptoms? I got "costrochondritis" basically just from all the shifting around from the pec minor and then the botox. How are you worse? Also, what is new vs. old? I have surgery coming up, very soon....

I frickin' diagnosed myself with pec minor syndrome off of info from these boards and the internet. I sent my records to Dr. sanders and scheduled a bilateral pec minor release. I went and then was officially diagnosed by Dr. sanders, but again, this is after I had already scheduled the surgery...two days before in fact. I flew to Denver for this surgery.

The St. Nicholas House Hotel is across from the hospital and is for hospital guests at $58.00 per night. If you fly in, you will probably need to rent a car, especially because Dr. sanders and Dr. mechanics offices are not located by the hospital, not in walking distance. You could probably take a cab, but the airport is away from the hotel/hospital.
