Dr Sanders has updated his page to include quite a bit about the pec minor problem and procedure. It's interesting, although the literature described the problem, there was NOTHING out there about anyone doing pec minor procedures when I was dx'd and sent to Denver to have it done in Oct 2004.
When Dr. Annest said he had never done the procedure before, I was really surprised. Turns out, I may have been the very FIRST patient to have had it done---if I'd know that then, I'd have been MUCH more nervous!!!

Dr S. says either novicaine or xylocaine is used in the block.

Although my shoulder blade initially felt MORE unstable/like it was winging more, and was uncomfortable/somewhat more painful for about 12 months I'd estimate, the shoulder blade is better now, less overall pain than before the surgery. The unstable feeling is gone as well, guess other muscles have adapted. What has NOT changed is the pain below the collarbone, that's been with me from day one of my injury, and I think always will be, dang it!
It's present on the left side as well. NOT a good place to be touched!!
