Pretty concerned but don't want further surgery!
I'm 6 months post first rib resection and have begun to experience issues with my arm/hand on OPERATED side, it still fatigues very quickly. Even though my vein and artery have been released from the first rib I think that they have not been through enough in their investigations and feel that they have missed part of the compression ?????? My pec is very troublesome and when my arms are stretched out above or in front of me and across my body my hands are going pale very quickly!!
I'm VERY confused as to what I should do. I still have issues with my left side too BUT really don't want to be touched again..... I have lost all faith in medical intervention, it hasn't helped me and I don't want to go down the road of being dependent on meds.
I'm working hard on doing things as holistically and gently as possible.
The only time I get cut again is if its a there and then life or death situation.
Damn I'm confused!
