Yes, I think u should make a new appointment. Don't allow the situation to get worse. He will be able to help u or not, but at least u made the appointment. Let me know how everything is going.

Did they ever remove your 1st rib? --- or just your extra rib? Sounds like maybe he will be removing the 1st rib this time around? --- that might be helpful --- I hope so for you.

Thanks for your reply. Well I was told I had an extra rib, so they stated it had to be removed. This was my first surgery. This surgery was under the armpit. Second surgery on the back right shoulder. I was told they were going to remove some scar tissue from first surgery, and they were going to cut part of the bone in my shoulder, that was pressing on my nerves. We shall see about this third one. Have not decided if I'm going to have it or not.
