I am looking for others who had their first rib removed through the armpit. I am now 10 days post op and I am feeling about 80% which is great but I have an issue. I had a drainage tube below the incision and they took that out before I left the hospital. My husband changed the bandage for a couple days and then there wasn't much drainage so I went to a small bandaid. A couple days ago in the shower it started draining alot so I went back to the large dressing.
Yesterday I called my doctor and the nurse told me it was fine because I was getting around more and doing some stretches with my arm. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? |

I have bi-lateral incisions in armpits (rt side was done twice, so have extra swelling/scar tissue there - years later). I didn't have any drainage tubes when discharged.
