surgery
I have a surgery date to have my "extra rib" and my first rib removed. August 17th. I am a bit scared of the pain but happy it is going to happen soon.

The extra c rib is usually one of the better reasons to have a TOS surgery for.
Be sure to have an experienced surgeon, and be cautious during the recovery time to avoid accidents, falls, and any quick grabbing /catching reflex actions. Are your symptoms more nerve or blood flow related? |

Some surgeons will not remove the first rib when the issue is the c-rib. Others remove it just to remove it. I'd make sure the first rib absolutely needs to be removed with multiple opinions. Best of luck to you- Anne |
Best of luck! I had my 1st rib removed on June 9th... and I was feeling pretty good just a few days later! Take your time to heal and stay postitive!
