So I really didn’t even know what this condition was called up until a few months ago. And I had always thought that I’m just going to have a sunken chest. I’ve always been self conscious about it. I just got the pectus healing vacuum bell about 5 days ago. The first time I used it, I think I went a little too hard on the pressure and my chest hurt like hell for a couple of days. I wasn’t going to keep using it, if I had to go through that much pain but it’s not nearly as bad now. Bottom line is, I’m 50 and this has made a huge improvement so far! Only time will tell but it has at least given me some hope, where I didn’t even think there was an option.
