I had my TOS surgery.....it will be 2 years in September, and I have never regretted it.

I was in so much pain. My hand was constantly turning blue and was swollen.

I felt relief immediately after it was over.

Am I completely cured? No.

If I am not careful, I do have flares (no blueness or swelling), but just muscle tightness in shoulder and sometimes throbbing down the arm.

But, nothing like I was before surgery. I have so much of my life back.

Now, will that surgery do the same for someone else? It will just depend on that person.

I would ask the surgeon doing the surgery what will be the chances that the surgery could make it worse. That may help you in your decision.

I was happy for any relief.
