I was hoping this was going to take care of my pain but instead i have burning pain in both of my arms and my neck kill. My finger tips on both of my hands hurt. And to top it off my shoulder blades are on fire and have spasms. And now my feet are cold and purple. IME doctor said the surgeon didn't complete sympathetectomy. He said he should of taken out the stellate ganglion. Now i have RSD and Ranaunds Conditions due to TOS Surgery
-I also had to see a eye-specilaist- He confirmed i have Horners Syndrome. I new my eye look a little different, It was because of the sympathectic, damage to the sympathetic nervous. Due TOS surgery

Dear Beth,
I had know idea he was going to do that procedure all he told us was he was going to untangle the muscles and may be remove the rib. When this surgeon was asked by me and my husband why am i worse and why does my left side hurt now, why am i burning in my arms. And why are my legs and feet turn purple when i am cold. His reply was i have know idea you better find a doctor to see what that is. It was a three hour ride home and all i did was cry. It took so long for a doctor to tell me i had tos, but know test confirmed it only visable signs and the anson test. I did talk to a few attorneys and they told me any body can get rsd . I dont have a leg to stand on. I wish i did my home work about TOS surgery i would never have done it. He was such a *** never return any phone calls. where i live there is no support there may be one doctor to give you the blocks. I will see one in two weeks. Im so glad you responded back between the pain and comp and trying to get ssd i am stressed out. I only worked part time do to my children so i get very little from comp. Its not fair he should have to pay for what he has done. Thank you for your in put any more advice would be great.
