Heart I'm new too-M.D.'s recommed Thoracic Outlet Rib Removal
Hi-well 2.5 years in the making to get to this point and now I don't know what to do. Former hairstylist/make-up artist I injured my left shoulder and thus began a journey (nightmare) into workers comp. We have done it all -3 types of pt, cortizone injections, subacromial decompression surgery, pain management, accupuncture, chiropractic treatments, current nerve blocks and now another referral to UCLA for rib removal surgery.

Has anyone had this surgery and did it work for you or not? I am not in any hurry to have it done, the only thing that would lead me to that direction is hope that the pain level which is daily 7-10 may decrease. What do you guys think?

Hi googndoog,

Welcome to NT. I am a fellow TOSer. I had surgery for scalene removal but not rib removal.

But we have several members you have had rib removal. I am going to copy your post over to the TOS board
as well. Here is the link.

Hi Googndoog! Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Stick with Shelley, she's a good egg.


A little off, but good.
