I am having cervical rib removal surgery on the 25th of July. I am supposed to move into the dorm on the 15th of August. I was wondering if this gives me enough time to recover, or will I still be in too much pain? Should I move my surgery to a different date? I am in pain now, and I am just hoping to get the sugary done, but I don't want it to make me where I have to delay college for a semester or anything.

Hello,
That might be a very close time frame for recovery, the last thing you want is to irritate /mess up the area after surgery. 2.5 weeks or so... Do you have a very experienced surgeon, what do they say about recovery times? What is your avg pain level & with or without medications? Would you be starting classes right away also? Or just getting moved in to the dorm?

Yes, i do and I have not really talk to him about the recovery times. Everything that I have found out has been online.
I have a pretty high pain tolerance without medication and with medication any pain I have had has almost disappeared. I would be moving into the dorm, I would not start classes for another week. There would just be a lot of freshman activities. |

If it is mainly the cervical rib causing the troubles , that is usually a fairly good result & recovery, but there are so many variables that can happen...
Have you tried the expert PT & posture route already? (sometimes w/ extra c rib that may /may not help though)

well I have known for about 6 months, but the doctor has rescheduled my surgery so many times. it took them so long to realize what was wrong with me.
Yeah i know its not gonna be an easy recovery but I have tried EVERYTHING besides this. I found a doctor in my city.. he has only performed a couple surgeries so a little nervous! |
