Dr. Sanders is still doing diagnostic testing, but the actual surgery would be done by Dr. Annest with Dr. Sanders assisting/observing.

Thanks Eddiemaverick. Were you forced to keep your arm down for a period of time during recovery (I've heard this is the case)? Have you ever been limited in activity since then (other than during recovery)?
There is quite a bit of information out there about the causes and procedure for this, but very little about the aftermath. |

I have not been forced to keep my arm down; in fact I've been given range of motion exercises that include overhead motions. I am no more limited in activity than I was prior to surgery; but that isn't saying much as I wasn't doing much prior. One thing I have noticed however is that my range of motion overhead is greatly improved.
I can honestly say that the pec minor tenotomy has been an easy recovery so far compared to a first rib resection. Quote:

No, so I can't offer you anything on that front. Dr. Donahue did say that he has professional athletes who've had it done and had no detriment. He also said that thair shoulder specialists there at MGH are unable to find any significant detriment to the tenotomy procedure.
