Jo*mar ,
Thanks for the quick reply , I already did a search here and at other forums but there is little directly related to helping with TOS pain. I've been extremely fortunate to have the best physicians there are for my care at Mass General.
Each surgery and treatment HAS made a significant improvement . Looking back I realize how bad I was early on and am always thankful in the knowledge that my pain episodes will pass (eventually) .The thought of additional surgery is considered as a last resort. But I have to think of the stimulator as another surgery.
I'm leaning towards the stim as the pain does wear you down , gets so bad (for just short periods ) that I occasionally pass out. I've had a few other medical issues since the TOS , like shingles , kidney stones , samonella , and a few broken bones etc etc ......ALL OF WHICH ARE A WALK IN THE PARK compared to TOS .

Again Thanks
