I am so happy to hear that your surgery has been so successful. It gives me hope that I will be pain free in the foreseeable future.
Let us know how the follow up goes. I am starting to seeing the surgeons in L. A. but am interested in going to see Dr. Brown too especaially because he does scalenctomy only. What is his rationale for not taking out the rib?
Thanks,
