1st rib resection and scalenectomy in Baton Rouge La exactly one year ago. 75% improvement. Problem was my left side - non-dominant hand. had all of the tests, phys therapy, etc. Nothing helped before. I was at my wits end. No other health problems before surgery, so I guess that helped with my quick and easy recovery. As for now and the future, keeping my shoulder girdle really strong seems to help with the remaining symptoms.

I have gotten so much help from forums before I decided to have the surgery, I wanted to offer to answer questions to anyone who might be interested.
