I started reading this forum once my doctor told me the surgery I needed done was called rib resection. He made the surgery sound simple and told me low risk of complications. An overnight hospital stay, and 2-4 weeks recovery. I'm having it done at St Lukes in Bethlehem PA.
He told me my artery is being obliterated by the compression. I have very minimal pain symptoms, just alot of swelling when I use my arm. Does the surgery dealing with non neurological TOS have less complications? After reading this forum, I don't know if I believe my doctor. I'm wondering whether it would be worth looking into a more conservative treatment, I don't want to have to deal with chronic pain too. Is there anyone that has had decompression surgery for artery/vein with minor complications? |
