Hi,

I was diagnosed with TOS a few months ago. I have suffered with pain for years and muscle atrophy on my right thumb. My pain fluctuates but seems to worsen whenever I carry anything or use the computer. It was through the discovery that I have a cervical rib on both sides that I was finally diagnosed. My doctor recommended I have supraclavicular thoracic outlet decompression surgery, however I am very concerned about the potential complications of this procedure. Consequently, I was wondering if anyone could offer any insight, advice or perhaps their own experiences? I have read a lot of horror stories on the internet so I thought it best to ask someone directly who may be better informed. Thanks.
