Do you feel your surgeon was highly rated , skilled & current on TOS issues?
Was there any specific reason for (No rib removal and no total scalene removal)?
But then again NTOS is very tricky even for top TOS surgeons.. sometimes surgery just isn’t much help.. may reduce some sx & pain, but not all.
internal scarring/scar tissue is another issue that may come into play ...
Questions..
avg pain levels in a day?
bilateral? L or R ?
What are your most bothersome symptoms/pain?
any expert PT/therapies?
any alternative - acupuncture, massage, low level laser, electric stim/TENS etc?
