I have a question to anyone that has had bilateral thoracic outlet first rib resection. I had this procuder done on the right and left side a littel over a year ago and since have had about 4 months of PT I began having pain and numbness accross my chest and down the back of my arms. The work that I did up till a few weeks ago is very physical and caused me much pain and disconfort. My nuroligist has since told me not to lift over 5 LBS and to limit any over head activity. I am very depresed and an looking for any info that you may think will help.
