when I do this, I don't lose pulse - I lose the ability to breathe! can you find a Feldenkreis PT in your area? It might help with breaking up scar tissues, keeping you stretched.

(I am 7.5 yrs out from last surgery.)

Sounds like you already have compression and that these small movements put you past a tipping point. Just a theory.

I'd be curious what compresses the area with the rib gone and the scalene muscles freed... ???

Do we have any historical info in these forums on people who still lost circulation even after rib resection?
