i have been in pt for a year now, and had surgery about 5 and 8 months in. I am starting to have glimpses of what a good day used to feel like, i mean, i guess i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but like others have said, once TOS always TOS, just find the best way to manage your symptoms.

As for surgery- a walk in the park compared to dealing with TOS day to day.

but again, useless w/o pt to follow up and correct the bad habits.

If you can find a PT experienced of certified in Feldenkrais or a similar technique, they will probably be a good choice. TOS is about whole body awareness, and using it in a way so as not to hurt yourself.

Even with excellent PT's, it has taken me months and surgery to get where i am. Been out of work since May, hoping to go back early next year, we'll see what happens i guess.

good luck to you
