I had surgery exactly a week ago for NTOS my procedure was first rib risectimy with neurloysis and scalenectomy I have numbness on my chest and neck near and around the incision on my right side the incision is near the collarbone was wondering if this goes away at all I havent noticed any changes. Is there anything I can do to help with this?

I think others have mentioned incision sensitivity and/or numbness in the area.

It usually fades away after some time, but maybe not completely.
I had small knee surgery & it took a couple of years for the odd feeling to fade away at incision site.

A week is more like an hour in the big scheme of things when recovering from TOS surgery. It takes a minimum of 3 months to be out of the woods and up to a year to see full results.

Numbness is normal and it should go away. I had surgery in sept for my right side and it just went away but still have it on the left side which was operated about 6 weeks ago.
