Hi Johanna -
Thank you for your post - will check into Dr. Ahn. Still hoping, by some miracle, that a doc will say I don't need surgery, but I just don't know. I'll still go see Dr. Ballard at St. Joseph in Orange on Tuesday just to see what he says. Depending on that, I may have to "pick your brain" for your surgery experiences. Are you "healed" ???

One of the very best in TOS surgery in the country, right here in our own back yard. Don't miss the opportunity.

Vascular cases often have better prognosis for recovery than neurological. ihaven't read up on your situation too much, but that is a general rule of thumb...of course there are no guarantees in life and all....
Good luck
