I feel like this surgery compressed my artery even more than it already was compressed. I feel like I would have been better off if I had this surgery along with my first rib resection/scalenectomy. If you have already had those surgeries though, and are still having problems, it increases your chance of success greatly.

Thanks for posting. I have not had any surgeries. I was told about 1-2 months to recover fully and for me to get back to lifting at the gym. I have not had any other operations- this will be the first. I am only doming the right side as that is my dominate side and the worst. Dr. Donahue did have be get a botox shot in the pec minor. With those I get instant relief while the injection is occurring. He suggested that I try this operation first then I could do the more extensive one after if needed. Did you have PT after this?
