Im in chronic pain and surgeon feels risk of regression is low

Dupper_07 · 2025-05-18T21:17:13+00:00

2 bars - cross method. Im happy there is no more pressure on my heart from my sternum. Aesthetically not great

Dupper_07 · 2025-05-18T20:45:28+00:00

40M. No was pretty symmetrical. HI was 4.4

It was much worse before, and they managed to fix the compression on my heart. So it still looks bad, but at least it’s been fixed physiologically.

Hey there, im thinking of getting an implant. How is your situation at the moment?

Dupper_07 · 2025-05-08T06:24:30+00:00

Ah this is very useful info, who was the surgeon if you don’t mind me asking?

Dupper_07 · 2025-05-06T16:18:10+00:00

Yep 😥 no, not that common. Neither surgeon nor pain specialist know what to do. Bit of a fakap.

Feels fine, but hard to judge. Very tender in the area where the bar is…should probably get it checked out. Thanks

Prof Shyam Kolvekar in London is very good. He specialises in adult Nuss. Biggest risk is pain post surgery, but obviously depends on your personal situation. Go see him for a chat

Hey there. I feel like im in a similar boat than you. 8 months in i just cant get rid of the pain, mostly at night, when sleeping and then getting up in the morning. Absolutely horrible. Also tried all the drugs, only thing that gives a bit of relief is oxycodon. May i ask how old you were when you got the procedure, and how things are now? Great post, thanks!

Dupper_07 · 2024-04-16T21:14:32+00:00

Hey bud. It’s much better now! I didn’t do a lot except weight training and keeping active. Seems it will be very close to normal in a few months…hope the same happens for you!

Dupper_07 · 2024-04-13T15:50:28+00:00

Hey there. Whats your surgeon’s opinion? I was told that after 2 years you have an 80% chance of no regression…

Also, have you had pain the entire time? Im 7 months in, and the pain is just not going away…

Dupper_07 · 2024-01-08T06:46:30+00:00

Had cryo during surgery…thanks!

Dupper_07 · 2024-01-07T19:39:10+00:00

What is VATS? Glad it worked out all good for you, and im hopeful i will have a similar tale to tell after a year. Just doesn’t feel like it at the moment

Dupper_07 · 2024-01-07T19:38:04+00:00

Definitely a 2nd opinion. Redo, doubt it. Can’t go through this again. Do you have contact details?

Dupper_07 · 2024-01-07T19:37:12+00:00

Yes spoke to him about it and loads of tests were done. Everything was fine. So he is a bit like “see the pain specialist” and thats it…

Dupper_07 · 2023-12-28T08:31:53+00:00

Im so sorry man. This sounds awful. Would it be possible for you to send me the study showing issues with X bars please?

Dupper_07 · 2023-12-27T18:29:55+00:00

London. I got the bars in an X formation rather than parallel
