Also, aproximately 1 year after surgery I was literally pain free. I was able to have my fourth child in 2002 with a completely normal pregnancy. I did schedule a c-section so I wouldn't aggrevate my neck.

I was completely pain free until March of last year. I drove my family from NJ to Disney almost completely by myself. The stress of the drive put me back into TOS hell. Dr. T. was not happy with me when I went to see him. The fact that I had been completely "cured" and did something so stupid by being so stressd was not a good thing.

We are driving to Disney again next month but I have learned my lesson and will make sure I have my husband help and my daughter has her license now so she can help. Also, little things like bringing a pillow to rest my arm on and stopping and changing drivers more often.

Best of luck to you. Having TOS does not have to be a life sentence as long as we pay attention to our doctors and our bodies.
