Went to dr yesterday and he showed me on the CT scan where all the hardware from my clavicle surgery is crushing everything against my first rib. When my arm is raised my pulse disappears. I did have an EMG and the nerves are in pretty good shape so I'm happy their isn't permanent damage. I've already had a blood clot in my subclavian vein and other veins in arm. I was finally relieved that after 5 years of complaining a dr actually looked and could clearly see how bad everything is getting crushed. Now the answer potentially for me is different because I also have a clavicle that is also causing much pain because it isn't healed right and has a lot of hardware in it. Most likely I'm going to be looking at removing everything and eventual reconstruction. I'm really afraid of these surgeries but if the pain could go away that would be a miracle at this point. I would love to be active again and pain free (or much lessened). Back to dr in 3 weeks. Hope everyone out there can find relief.
