@winterfox Hello, I would love to talk! I’ve been struggling with depression following this surgery.
I also have Thoracic Outlet syndrome and the arm that was used for my surgery has been through multiple traumas, so I think the recovery is taking longer.
I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome too and it is making recovery difficult.
I’m just feeling very frustrated.
I used to be a Fine Art and Design professor - before all this - so I’ve been doing Art Therapy myself and it really helps.
I also see a pain psychologist regularly.
How has your life been effected? You can message me too!
Thank you for reaching out.
