1st Rib Removal, Clots & PICC line
Hello there,
Just wanted to know if anyone could tell me about their experiences recovering from this op please?
My b/f needs to have rib one resection due to on going blood clots. He's had 3 in his upper right arm in the last 2 months but no other symptoms. They don't really know what is causing the clots as he's also having chemotherapy and had a PICC line fitted in this arm originally that the vein kept rejecting
However he is a roof tiller by trade & the arm that clots is his lifting arm.
How are any of you now with lifting heavy weight? We are concerned he won't be able to go back to his trade again after the op.
Thank you for any advice anyone can offer, there seems very little on the internet of personal recovery stories.
