Re-do worth it?
Hi all,
Extremely long story short, I have ntos and surgery (1 year postop) did not go as planned. They were supposed to remove both cervical and first ribs but for whatever reason they were only able to remove the cervical rib. I'm left with the same/worse muscle wasting as before. I'm split between accepting that I probably won't have function of my hand/arm when I'm older or having another surgery that is extremely high risk. I'm burnt out from doing countless EMGs, MRIs etc and think what good would another test/consult/surgery do after having so many? I would appreciate any stories you'd be willing to share about poor outcomes and whether you've decided to live with them or get another surgery. Feel free to PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting. Thanks in advance for your response.
