Will i be able to return to playing golf after a first rib resection for thoracic outlet syndrome?

Ease into it: Should not be a problem once you are healed. You want to prevent stiffness or frozen shoulder by starting range of motion as soon as surgeon gives OK. Don't overdo it and gradually ease back into your golf swing with something lighter than your club at first and work back to being comfortable swinging before you go out and hit a few. Ease back into the game and listen to your body .
