Has anyone had multiple rib resections? I suffered T.O.S. after a fall down steps. I had surgery to repair dislocated shoulder, a neck fusion to repair disc damage and then came the T.O.S. diagnosis.... I then had my first rib removed via underarm, then... six months later had a rib resection of my second through fifth rib. I never became pain free. Two years post-op, I have been offered another surgery to remove more of my second and fourth rib because of a lot of pain and those ribs continue to crunch against my sternum. Please tell me someone else has been through this. I have so many questions and fears.
