Default Hi Im New

Hello,

Ive been lurking for a couple of months now, so thought it would be a good idea to start posting !

Im 39 and from the UK and got diagnosed with Venous TOS a few months ago, more specifically Paget-Schrötter syndrome, after spending 3 days in hospital with a purple swollen arm !

The compression actually caused a blood clot under my collar bone, and Ive been on warfarin since then.

I have a follow appointment with the vascular surgeon in September, after which I should know whether I need an operation or not.
