Over the years I have tried SO many things to find releif from TOS pain...
Physical therapy at 4 different locatins-none of them educated in TOS or what is appropriate for us...
Chiropractic, several different ones...
pilows,
massage
heat
ice
specialists
trigger point injections
trigger point massage-with a therea cane
I have all the usual props for someone dealing with thi pain issue long-term...
and yet!
once my son went through a growth spurt in 10th grade and the dr xrayed him and found he has cervical ribs-he was having a resection within 3 months!
My daughters symptoms began the next summer...so I held off my own resection till my kids were heald.
Just from our experience-rib resection has not been a cure all.
Not at all.
We still have to watch it with our arms, and we still ache, and its not perfect-better, but we still look for ways to cope with ongoing pain.
I hope you find the answers you need!!!!
My heart goes out to you!!
