I am so sorry you are going through all this. I am also in NJ (Tinton Falls) and have a great TOS specialist in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Dr. Togut. He performed my rib-resection and scalanectomy in 2000. It took me a year to be pain free. I was pain free for 6 years until I had a relapse. I drove to and from NJ to FL under fairly stressful conditions which I am now paying for. Although, the pain I have now is about 20% of what I had before. It is now becoming easier. Also, there is a Dr. Schwartzmann in Philly who diagnosed me in 1999. He is supposed to be very difficult to see.

Best of luck and if there is any NJ info regarding hospitals or doctors let me know! Linda
