Shelley, had my surgery at Sy John's by Dr. Ahn. I have to admit I did have an issue with breathing after until I sneezed the most painful sneeze of my life..breathing is now better! Now there is just some pain where my rib and scalene muscle were.... Left hand still numb, but tomorrow is just a week out and the chest pain had become unbearable! I am starting PT next week! onward! TG
