    Hi. I am over 12 months and in more pain than before having op. Still having pain in arms and chest. Still not back at work. So good luck.

    I am a little over a year post op and unfortunately it did not help with the pain in my shoulder and arm.  It did help with the tingling and numbness though. 

    Best of luck!
