Fingers crossed...
Hi Im curious where is uscd n what kind of surgeon is Dr. Brown? I also had whiplash from bad accident 4 yrs bf I started w. chronic neck & shoulder pain.
I'm 3wks postop from 1st Rib n Cervical Rib Resction, Scalenectomy of Anterior & Middle scalenes, BP Neuroplasty. My surgeon said it was the worst fibrotic SM he has ever seen, it was as sharp as a knife. I'm having a lot of increased nerve pain n numbness I didn't have bf surgery. I think my surgeon always removes the 1st rib w his tos surgeries. I will ask him next visit.
Wish u best of luck for quick & full recovery!
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,

University of California San Diego is UCSD. Dr. Brown has done had some incredible advances in nerve regeneration. He has done a lot of TOS surgeries at this point.
