Just want to back up my prior post by showing folks what I am dealing with now. my website with photos is www.sonic.net/bjj I don't have a recent picture of last or this year up there but I hope to soon. These were all taken as they are dated after Dr. Avery's TOS surgery front approach with a rib resection that I didn't want. I think he took ALL my scalene muscles out front, most of middle and posterior. And he cut out first rib all the way. Phrenic nerve paralyzed, LTN paralyzed, and more damage, I asked him NOT to take the rib or posterior scalene,but there you have it. I feel like he took out way too much of my neck--and I've been told that as well by another thoracic surgeon who says the whole area will collapse. Neurosurgeons look at me AGHAST!!! That is exactly what has been happening day by day. And even airway collapses off an on now... I NEVER was better at ALL only worse from Dr. Avery's damage. I believe what he did will end my life.
