Hi Joanne...praying you are feeling somewhat better. I am 6 weeks post right rib resection, scalenectomy, and pec minor clip. I can tell you that you are not alone. This has been a very hard time in my life. I can tell you that I am better than right after the surgery, however, it is small baby steps and very very frustrating.
I cannot believe you are not on any pain killers. At this point I am still on two pain killers, muscle relaxer and ibuprofen, and I dont like to take meds...but if I didn't I can't imagine how it would be. Keep posting responses and let me know how you are doing. I am a good ear and my goal would be to encourage you.... Deb
