Any suggestions where should I seek 2nd opinion and if I choose to do the surgery where to do it?

THANKS!
Hi,

Have had 1st rib resection on the right arm in April this year, having my left arm done in 2 weeks time.

Both surgeries at Exeter hospital, surgery performed by John Thompson.
Initially saw him privately for consultation and diagnosis, surgery and following care on the NHS. AFAIK John 'teaches' the operation in the UK, so is probably the best for the job.

Hope that helps! feel free to PM me if you need more info.

Thanks
Jonesy
