Kelly, it can take at least 2 yrs sometimes longer for nerves to show abnormal on ncs/ emg 's. Mine did. U can also have a double crush, where the compression can be in neck/bp & in elbow or wrist. My tos surgeon said u can be more prone to compression in arm if u have comp. up above. Has Pec minor syndrome been ruled out? Rib pain is one of the sx. It affects the 3rd, 4 & 5th ribs. I have rib pain/soreness almost everyday, sometimes unbearably sore & burning. Sitting too long makes it worse. Crazy!!
I will be seeing my surgeon in Sept. for my 1 yr followup. Boy does time fly! I will? this Pec minor w him.
Sorry to hear u have been getting worse.
