Listen to the TOS patient pro's here.
They are ALL good people.
nd extremely knowledagble.
I come here periodically when I'm capable.
So much to catch up on, so many new TOSers, so much new info but cannot stay on long.

I will say this...i had a bilateral costaclavicular decompression 8/12/02 cause i couldnot stand the pain anymore. The surgeon said I would be back to work within 6 weeks. HA...never happened my symptoms returned.
He forgot to inform us that he was going to do a right ulnar nerve decompression during this surgery. I woke up and there was a bandage on my elbow not knowing why. The decompression is the worst thing he could have done per other top docs. Thats where i feel the massive burning and inability to use my hand as pre surgery. So, there is no change. Just pain and swelling and throbbing and madness.

Research before you leap.
The surgeons promise you a rose garden and we sometimes look between the lines thinking they are GOD.
If I had had the luxury for this website and all the pro's here I would NOT have done the ulnar nerve decompression.

Best of luck and hang in there with the rest of us, k?
