Hi Horsemommy,
Surgery is going to have to be your decision and you should do your homework and research. Johanna did a great research thread on surgeons and you should read it if you haven't yet Titled, DOCTORS and PT List for TOS and is the 10th post on this thread http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=135.
I had my first surgery 2 1/2 years ago which I though worked until 8 months later I begin having sever arm pain. I had to have a redo a year after my first surgery and 3 days post op I developed RSD... I had a top surgeon that was very experienced but I didn't have a good outcome.
So as you can see this is a decision you need to make on your own and do your homework before you have surgery...
Every case and every outcome is different some are good and some not so good. Know what you are going into before you go there.
Best of Luck to you
&Dawn
