Hi There,

Just another update on my TOS. I am currently two weeks post op (again). On 10th September i had my 2nd rib removed. This was following my first surgery (in March) of my 1st rib remoal not working.

It is only the secong case my surgeon has known where the first op hasnt worked for the patient. My symptoms had not improved at all and on my post surgery follow up appointment it was decided by my surgeon that i needed to have my second rib removed.

There isnt much point me putting down my diary up till now because to be honest it is more or less the same as my first surgery.

I just hope and pray that this now solves my condition and i can finally live a normal life again and be free from this syndrome.

I'm trying to smile through the pain now as i write this but wanted to make sure my post was up to date just incase there is another rare person out there whom also has had the first surgery fail and needed the 2nd rib to be removed too.

You have to keep smiling dont you
