i had my sugery on left side tuesday morning. My doc said the same thing...muscle were twice the size of normal and massive scar tissue. I had NO injections so don't blame it on that. I am feeling pretty much as you. Pain control fist night was lacking to say least. Today Sunday is day 5. Feeling pretty not too bad except swooshing sound in chest, like a bucket of water. He did scalendectomy and rib removal. one handed typing so very slow, trying to taper off morphine and go back to demerol. not sleeping or eating and i was told to do excersizes on arm. email me at rwheelan@aernet.ca if you want to talk more since we are going through this together.
