    I had a thoracoplasty with my correction. Initially, it was the most painful area. I did not have a second incision Dr. Jeong was able to do the procedure with the rotation correction. Now, at 3 months post op I don't have any rib pain but noticed my rib pops when I over do it during breathing. His PA during a phone consult said it could be from inflammation. I am now on 5mg. hydrocodone I take about 3 times a day. I am awake at night uncomfortable. But, I can now take a deep breath and it does not burn and I actually get a breath. Something that was not possible pre-op. I see Dr. Jeong tomorrow and will ask. I also can't stand up straight yet but that is another question.
