Momz- I am soooo happy i had surgery, and now that some of the compression is relived i can't believe i put it off for so long. it is a walk in the park compared to actually living with TOS. (i have been saying that a lot lately!)

i remember you are allergic to most pain meds, so the actual surgery will be much more difficult for you than most, you will want to explore the possibilities with your surgeon before hand, obviously. Do you know if there is anythign you can take? I can't remember if you can even do Advil....

The pain you are living with every day right now will be reduced after surgery- and the surgery itself is really not that bad at all.

(((((momz))))))

You sounds as though you are in good hands... i wish you all the best. Try not to worry too much, because it is really not all that bad.
