I Have bilateral arm and LEG pain lol. please share your story.
Yes! My son is 2 years post op Dr Donahue, n/tos. It was a very long recovery with some backward movement during the recovery process - a few months surgery recovery and a year-plus TOS recovery after surgery (not a quick fix by any means). But it was a success and my son has his life back, is able to do things that TOS stole from him. No more daily pain, numbness, weakness, etc. Flares are few and far between and when they do occur, they are less intense and resolve faster. I wish the same for all of you who are suffering this terrible condition. My advice is if you are looking to surgery, choose your surgeon very, very carefully - and talk to his/her other patients.
