I don't think there is really a cure for TOS. The surgery helps with some of the symptoms but you still have the pain at times and there are things you still can't do because of it.

I have had surgery on the right side. I cannot look at clothes on tall clothes racks, can't hang clothes on clothes lines and I can't reach up the cabinets many time for dishes. Also no heavy lifting.That is with most people that have had the surgeries. Some got worse after surgeries also. To me it is right up there with the RSD when it comes to the symptoms and the pain until a person gets some kind of control over it.

It takes PT and most times surgery to help it. I sure hope you don't have it on top of the RSD.
