Hi flippin',

I had my pec minor releases (bi-lateral) done AFTER the TOS surgeries.

It helped, but not enough to warrant losing the stability and movements that the pec minors give. My situation was weird tho - my insurance was running out in 30 days. I went to Denver and had nerve block done on the right side. It helped (and 24 hrs later I was having the surgeries). If my insurance was continuing, I would have opted to do nerve blocks for as long as they helped BEFORE doing the pec minor releases.

Now I'm experiencing tearing in my forearm and sternum - the areas that are trying to compensate for the pec minors. Also having lots of pain in the arm pits and pec minor insertion areas. Don't know why. Scar tissue?

Hope this is what you were looking for.

What is bothering you pain-wise the most right now?

Anne
