Hello, my name is Dan.
3 years ago I got hurt on the job. Initial diagnosis was a torn rotator cuff and bicep tendons.
Had surgery, went threw PT, then back to work.
About 4 months after returning back to work my shoulder blade was killing me and shoulder hurt again.
Went back to Dr. Tore it again.. How you might ask??
I don't know....
Had surgery again. About 4 months later, same senerio, except shoulder blade never stopped hurting.

Long story short, have have 3 torn rotator cuff and bicep tendons surgeries, then diagnosed with NTOS.
Had another surgery, first rib removed. Still hurt!!
Then diagnosed with a winged scapula.
Had another surgery in Nov, my shoulder blade muscles were torn complety away from my shoulder blade...
The Dr said if he had to guess because of all the damage he seen when he opened me up the shoulder blade muscles have been torn all along.
Still have not started PT from muscle repair..
I don't hurt as bad as I did weeks after surgery. But just walking around a mall puts me in pain and bad headaches
Around base of my neck..
Anybody else out there had this surgery or problems??

Hello Stoney,

I'm sorry you've had such a long drawn out series of injury and surgery. Ouch. You could probably repost over on the TOS forum. I see you've posted there in the past. I would imagine that the members who read there would be able to offer more information and support about this particular type of surgery.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Forum

You could also try a forum search. I did a quick search but only came up with one other past post there. That may have been because of the search terms I used. You should try it though.
