The only time I get cut again is if its a there and then life or death situation.

If they missed part of the compression then things for you to investigate include at least:
-- pec minor syndrome
-- droopy shoulder syndrome
I have the pec minor problem. It is not enough for me to stretch the scalenes and shove my rib down. I must also stretch the pec minor every day or my circulation will get backed up into my pec.
Good luck!
