I wanted to shared some information for all you TOSers out there who've had rib resection surgery.
I believe knowledge is power. If you don't know about these things, you cant stick up for yourself or ask the right questions.
When my daughter and son each had resection surgery in 2004 - 2005, our surgeon told us it was possible they may have recurring symptoms in the future because they were having resection at such a young age (13 & 15).
I think the link provided shows clearly why-regrowth of scar tissue and/or muscle.
Very interesting indeed, for those of us who have had surgery, especially if you have had decompression surgery in your younger years, you need to pay attention to this information.
