I can't figure out why. Took max. pain meds and fell asleep. Didn't hurt the next morning. Basically I think things are going very well but pain has increased after leaving the hospital.

I'm now 3 weeks post op for A/VTOS and had right first rib resection too. My experience was almost identical to yours. Out of curiosity how are you doing now???? From Newby SD38
