Has any one else exeriance these symptoms?

I'm sorry to hear about your continued pain. Do you mind if I ask who performed your surgery and what hospital? My son had rib resection performed by a surgeon who had performed 20 rib resections. One year later the rib had grown back and we are currently in the hospital recovery from a rib resection "redo" by Dr. Charles Brantigan in Denver, Co.
