Is numbness in fingers normal after rib resection
Hello all. My name is Terri. My daughter is 16 and 5 days ago had a rib resection done at Johns Hopkins by Dr Riefsnyder. I am concerned as the numbness in her 4 th and 5 th fingers is even worse after surgery. Almost debilitating. We were expecting numbness under arm but not this. Her dr has said not to worry yet as this is not uncommon but as a mother of a child who has already been thru so much I am worried. Can anyone shed some light on this? Perhaps ease my mind. I am a nurse and not completely ignorant but TOS is not something I even knew anything about untill Sara was dx with it.
