Hi All,
I had a first rib resection and pec minor release two weeks ago for NTOS. I am still experiencing nerve pain in my hand/arm and my surgeon said 50% of patients wake up with their pain cured and 50% take 1-3 months for the nerves to heal. I know I am being impatient but I am worried the surgery did not fix the issue. I am curious, for those who had the surgery, how long did it take for the nerve pain to subside? Best, Kelsey |

You will still have pain due to the surgery, some have pain for months, some less time..
lots of tissue was moved around to get at the rib & pec minor. Surgeon really should have clarified better for you. NTOS is a tricky one, use our search tool for other NTOS or surgery posts...

I had same done on both sides. With gentle stretching and a hot tub to use, it took almost 2 years for mine to resolve. It's been 11 years out now and I STILL put ice on the pec minor scars. Middle of the night seems to be when I need it most. But it's not a daily problem anymore like it was before surgeries.
Heal well,
