Why are u going to avascular surgeon? Did a TOS specialist do your surgery? Did u have a transauxillary or supraclavicular incision? Just wondering how surge was near RC ligaments. What did u have removed? 1 st rib? C-rib? Scalenes? Scar tissue?
What type of tos were u dx with? Hope u can get your shoulder repaired and get some relief!
Best Wishes

I'm in the UK and I found a TOS specialist and he did the surgery on me. I had transauxillary approach. I had my first rib removed. He was a vascular surgeon, I need to see a orthopaedic surgeon though for my rota cuff. The vascular surgeon I saw the other week (not the one who did the surgery, was getting a second opinion on my surgery) said he has never cut anyone's rota cuff ligaments during a first rib resection. So I have to wait until I've seen the orthopaedic surgeon to see if he thinks it was cut during that operation. I'm not sure what TOS I had, will have to a look at my notes, will get back to you. All I know is I wish id never had it done!!! I'm on morphine patches, Lyrica, co-codamol and Tramadol. Had to give up my horse and change alot in my life to help me cope with the pain. I would say on average before the op my pain was 5 out of 10 and now its a 7
