Hi KellySF,

Sorry I have not been on the forum as I have been going thru some personal issues. I remember you as one of the first people to welcome me on the forum.
Have you been to a good CFMT for scar tissue issues? worth trying it out as it has worked for me. I had only had a scalenectomy and after 8 months of being good after surgery in feb 2010, scar tissue developed and all the previous sx returned. I almost had a redo ( with rib removal) last August, but I am over with the TOS issues now with myofascial release and mobilization of scar tissue and some good exercises. It took about a year for me to get back, but it was worth it. Redo can always be the last resort, as I do believe in surgery when necessary. I am also off Gabapentin ( Neurontin) now.

Infact it was people on this forum that told me to try myofascial release and give it try. I postponed my redo surgery 3 times and eventually cancelled it as I didn't need it. I am so glad I listened to the people on this forum, they have been my Angels in guiding me.
I am in the SF Bay Area as well.
