Good morning,

I haven't posted in NeuroTalk in 7 years. I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and spent years in pain. I'm better. This is not about me but my sister. She has had MS for approximately 25 years. She also has bulging and herniated discs in her lower spine.

She is in constant pain and cries all the time. She is so unhappy and our family feels helpless. She has been told due to the MS, they cannot operate on discs. I don't want to say I don't believe this but, really? Is this true? Has anyone else experienced something like this? We want to get her to the right hospital/surgeon because her quality of life is horrible. She cannot participate in any family functions (even though we make sure she can access easily)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love her dearly and it kills me to see her in so much pain and feeling no hope.

Thank you
