If it is just nerves pt should help a lot and help to avoid surgery. I will find out the 12th if it involves my artery. I really don't want two ribs removed. I sware since I turned thirty my body tries to get rid of all unnecessary parts......lol! Hahaha I still have my appendix! The good news they give neck massages at pt!

Do you think they're taking your first rib out too? Or just the cervical ribs?
Yeah i'm thinking in the end they'll have to be taken out, but logically i keep saying to myself "well i had no pulse issues for so long, if i fix my posture it should go back to normal right?" Haha i'm stubborn i suppose. Currently i'm just 100% scared of not waking up from the anesthesia. :/ That's why i'm worried about surgery or else i'd hop right on board. I hope all goes well for you! We can share our experiences, whoever gets the surgery first, let the other know how it went. And yes, PT MASSAGES. Half the pain is being so stiff, should feel awesome.
