I am about to have surgery for my thoracic outlet syndrome issues. I have been suffering since 2003 from an auto accident.I would like to hear from anyone who has had this surgery. My problem is the brachial plexus area and nerve compression.I have done everything else possible so I know this surgery is worth it but not sure what to expect. Will I have to wear a neck thing like they put on dogs after surgery That would be a new fashion statement for sure!!! It is nice to know i am not alone Thanks--bookworm
