Hello, I continue to suffer from this nasty condition despite having decompression surgery 9 months ago. Just wondering if there's any fellow Canadians from Ontario in the same situation?

Did you have NTOS/mostly nerve related ? Full rib removed?
If so the nerves can take a very long time to heal , and may even stay a chronic issue. Internal scar tissue can happen also. Any scalene or pec minor issues ? or Was any of that mentioned or address in surgery? Any PT since the surgery? Expert PT or other therapies might be helpful..

I had a partial scalenectomy and total first rib resection. PT before and after surgery. I know the path report said that the scalene tissue was hypertrophied. There was no discussion about pec minor issues?? How would I know if there was any involvement with the pec minor muscles? I felt pretty good for 3-4 months after but all the symptoms have returned.
It has been pretty frustrating to say the least. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Was it anterior or medial that they removed? |

It was a transaxillary approach so I'm assuming that the amount of accessible scalene tissue would be less? So I had a partial anterior and middle scalenectomy with a first rib resection.

Yeah that assumption would probably be right. They likely just clear the area out as best they can and call it good.

I see the surgeon for my one year f/u in February. I'm not sure what to say...Sadly I am a failure. Still have to see a Physiatrist in February as well who 'fingers crossed' will do Botox injections into my scalenes. I hope the Botox injections can give me some relief. I still haven't returned to my job as an ultrasound technologist and don't know if that will ever be a possibility as it just aggravates my condition. Do you also suffer from TOS?
