Think more in years than months , even longer if you are still working or doing same activities that caused the problem..

Surgery- [ is it such a bad idea? why? ]
these issues have happened to past members..
A possibility of some internal scar tissue that can cause problems after the surgery.
Sometimes a reattachment happens ( in the wrong place) if scalene is only cut , or if only a small section is cut out..

May not solve the main problem..

I know there is a lot of info in the stickies, but they are very informative.. Don't try to absorb it all in a few readings..
