The ribs below were pushing up on the first rib (subluxations and torsions). This convinced me that my problem was rib related and not scalene related. My ribs have been easier for Ando to align on the left side since I had the resection. I will start therapy on the right side next week.

Dr. Ando has mention that to me too about the ribs below being a problem. I havent gotten him to let me know if he is able to lower my first rib. I will press him on this. My scalenes were very sore before the botox so I think the injections helped. And my scalene block was positve but I do want to retake it at some pt.as I am the only one not convinced! My worst pain has always been muscle pain Traps,Rhomboids , Scalpular and I'm not sure what causes this. The nerve pain is usually from overuse or overstreching.
