Other than that, I hope your operation goes well! Just don't push it too much in the beginning |

If you have venous tos, your recovery after surgery is highly successful. When the nerves are involved, it can be a bit longer and more complicated. Hopefully you can work it out so you can see him. |

Pretty concerned but don't want further surgery!
I'm 6 months post first rib resection and have begun to experience issues with my arm/hand on OPERATED side, it still fatigues very quickly. Even though my vein and artery have been released from the first rib I think that they have not been through enough in their investigations and feel that they have missed part of the compression ?????? My pec is very troublesome and when my arms are stretched out above or in front of me and across my body my hands are going pale very quickly!! I'm VERY confused as to what I should do. I still have issues with my left side too BUT really don't want to be touched again..... I have lost all faith in medical intervention, it hasn't helped me and I don't want to go down the road of being dependent on meds. I'm working hard on doing things as holistically and gently as possible. The only time I get cut again is if its a there and then life or death situation. Damn I'm confused! |

-- pec minor syndrome -- droopy shoulder syndrome I have the pec minor problem. It is not enough for me to stretch the scalenes and shove my rib down. I must also stretch the pec minor every day or my circulation will get backed up into my pec. Good luck! |

I am 3 weeks post op, still very sore but noticed a massive difference in my symptoms. I was operated on by an amazing vascular surgeon Dr Angus Rude in Morriston hospital Swansea. This surgery was done on MHS yet Dr Ruddle provided his own mobile telephone number so I could text him at any time with concerns. I have seen a definite improvement as I say, the constant pain I had in my arm (like hitting my funny bone) has eased, I don’t have the tense muscular pain in my neck (like elastic bands on full stretch) that I was experiencing and I have more movement in my arm and shoulder. It had been remarkable. I am however still experiencing pec pain and stabbing behind my shoulder blade. Dr Ruddle used transaxillary approach which seems to have better outcomes for patients. He was the only surgeon in my locality who could perform the surgery using this approach. I had two surgeries cancelled and then had to wait four months as he went on sick leave for him to come back to perform the procedure but I am so glad I did. I’m still on pain medications but 6 week post op I am hoping to be able to reduce these. I will have s follow up, de Ruddles advice was of it hurts don’t do it but other than that try to lead a normal life.
