I am a 22 year old college athlete, recently diagnosed with venous TOS in my left arm. Lifting weights is one of my favorite hobbies. I am currently lifting weights, at about 85%, and going in soon to meet a surgeon and see where to go from here. I had a procedure about 3 weeks ago where they put balloons in my veins to expand them for the time being and Im on blood thinners. Will I ever be able to lift weights again after I have this surgery. Squats, Bench press, ect.....I just went through 23 pages of posts on this forum, with only one instance being positive (Josh Beckett.) To say i'm worried is an understatement. Could this ruin my life?
