I've begun having left arm/ mostly hand coldness whenever I'm in a "cold" environment, either walking outside (Chicagoland area) or after my hand is wet. I had the left rib resection in 2003 and have had really good results until lately. I have a positive test (when I raise my arm, I lose the pulse) has done this for a while now. Has anyone had scar tissue become the problem? My surgeon retired a year or so ago and I haven't really had reason to go see him, however, the "heavyness" has seem to come back, which was a huge problem/ symptoms before surgery. How do I know if it's a circulatory problem or not? How common is recurrance??? I also have an ulnar nerve issue, not all the time, but enough to be annoying. I"m so glad I found this site! Thanks for any help or recommendations! email
