I hope it can relieve your pain too! I have some kind of underlying compression issue and that's why I think Pt doesn't seem to fix me. From what I have been told when you do PT it should be mostly stretching. I hope you are pain free soon! |

I was pain free but as soon as I started doing pushups and other exercises - like yoga - the pain has come back. I need to stay physically fit for the Navy; although I could get a medical waiver I feel like why stay in the military. If I can't perform the semi-annual fitness test I want it to be because I'm recovering from surgery. I have a large cervical rib and I just don't see how medication and PT can relive the problems the rib is causing. I am going to ask to be MEDEVAC back to the states for surgery this summer (and I need a vacation from Cuba, lol).

I plan to email the vascular surgeon I was seeing in San Diego and ask her if she is still willing to remove it and the estimated recovery time. If she says yes then I will ask my command to send me back to the US for the surgery. Fortunately I work at the hospital on base so planning will be easier. I will even pay to fly back to SD - I planned on going home this summer to see my kids anyways.
