Default Pain Relief after First Rib Resection

Hi All,

I had a first rib resection and pec minor release two weeks ago for NTOS. I am still experiencing nerve pain in my hand/arm and my surgeon said 50% of patients wake up with their pain cured and 50% take 1-3 months for the nerves to heal.

I know I am being impatient but I am worried the surgery did not fix the issue. I am curious, for those who had the surgery, how long did it take for the nerve pain to subside?

Best,
Kelsey
