I kept thinking it was going to get better but never did.
I had 6 or 7 Stellate Ganglion blocks done help for a very short time, a day or two then right back to square one. (It was a hit or miss) I felt i had no choice but to try everything and anything to help me and after this i can honestly say i have done everything possible to help me get better.
No drugs touch nerve pain and the ones they gave me to try would only make my head messed up. I got my injury back in March 2010. A very,very long road and afraid not done yet.
Hi, did u have a block or botox in the Pec minor muscle bf your Pec m surgery? Was this dx? I heard on here u can't lift your arm after this surgery. Is this true w u? How long is recovery supposed to be?
Curious who was your Dr? Was same Dr who did your tos surgery?
I have rib pain & outside armpit/shoulder/scapula soreness. Also pain & soreness going down back upper arm & forearm/hand. I have abnormal sensory in radial nerve on ncs, which I'm pretty sure starts in back of armpit & goes down back of arm.
Wondering why u only had rib removed not scalenes?
Did your surgeon say your nerves were damaged due to the surgery? Or just not healing?

Good luck with your recovery!!
