Hi and welcome
Excellent? Wish I found this forum bf my 1st surgery.
I had wished I had asked Dr Donahue whether or not he had thought Pec Minor Syndrome might also be contributing to my sx. I didn't bother thinking he would of said something if he did. I am 1 yr postop tos on Rt side and due to having worse sx in the shoulder, chest, armpit, arm and hand, he thinks I have Pec Minor S and is suggesting a tenonomy surgery. I also wished I asked what new sx can tos surgery cause? I woke up from surgery w new numbness in several areas which is now permanent. Dr told me after surgery the numbness can lasts up to 6 mos. At this point, he said its very rare for the numbness caused from surgery to lasts past 6 mos., and that I have an extremely sensitive nervous system.
I guess I'm a rare person or he just has not had a pt w this problem bf.
Good Luck!
