Oh my word, you certainly have had a time with it. I did have a little muscle and joint issues but nothing severe. However I could not sleep on that side for a long time. I know there are more people on connect who have had similar issues. I am not as savvy on here as some of the mentors, about tagging people. But I am going to try and figure that out. How far into PT are you now, is it getting any better?

I have been in PT for two months and pain is a lot better. I would wake with throbbing pain at night. I feel like I have less lateral rib pain. But when you look at me you can see my right shoulder is now anterior to my left. Range of motion has improved but is not back to full. My PT provider and PMR doc are terrific. Radiation as my therapist said fried the “ “ of my pectoralis muscle!! Thanks for your rapid reply!!
