I have numbness on that side of my chest and on my shoulder which I think is permanent, but it hasn't made any difference to my general fitness or ability to do anything.
Out of interest, I posted some photos of my scar on this site (paste "thread148013.html")
Like I mentioned on that thread - it actually is a bit wider and whiter now, but almost completely flat

Hi BexUk
Thanks for the scarring update. I'm currently 3 weeks post first rib excision with 2and1/2" scars above and below collarbone. At the mo they are still raised but redness is going down nicely and so is the initial swelling from the op. I just hope they flatten down, it looks abit Frankenstein esk.
Glad you are well and best wishes to ALL out there.TOS will not get the better of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
