Hi Goofyshoes,
and welcome to Neuro Talk, its a great place to get help and support.
Sorry for what you are going through at the moment, it must make it harder with your husband away.
Here is the link to the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome forum

If you need any help finding your way around, just ask someone will be along to help you out.
take care
Kate
