First rib resection for thoracic decompression surgery

[dvtriva]

Anyone had first rib resection for thoracic decompression surgery?

I have just had this surgery and wondering how to aid recovery.

Thanks

Hi.

I had this done November 2018.

What were your symptoms that led to the surgery?

I have struggled with recovery but only because things were missed by medical proffessionals

Hi

I had a sub clavian dvt due due to vascular thoracic outlet syndrome.

I am 1 week out and starting to feel a bit better.

Just wondering what you did to help with recovery and are you now fully recovered? What was missed?

I am going to start stretching and correcting my posture as soon as I can...

Cheers

Jon
