My heart goes out to you
Hi Tam,
Sorry to hear such bad news. 
I know you were feeling better in some ways after the Rt side surgery.
Do you have any plans to have the left side done?
A similar thing happened to me. Hurt my right arm and the overuse of
my left arm caused severe TOS and frozen shoulder.
Seems like we can't win for losing.
I know you said circulation felt better in your lower body since TOS surgery - I could go for a little circulation  -
I suddenly feel like I have no circulation in my legs and feet, it is a strange feeling, different than the pain.
Dr N. said I had peripheral neuropathy in both feet so maybe this feeling is part of that. I don't think so because of the leg involvement. The calf muscles cramp up and some of the time, I feel like I've been stabbed with a knife, just like the shoulder blades feel.
My legs have a mind of their own...walking is severely impaired as far as distance. Endurance is poor too. I see the doc soon.
Maybe it is because we do not walk enough? I know I've been sleeping 12-14 hours most nights - between those same wake ups due to wet sweat -  Maybe some PT will help. Simple exercises.
Anyway, back to you, maybe this could be a circulation / muscular disorder.
An exam by the doc and some home physical therapy might nip this before it becomes a flaming problem. As long as they don't hurt you. It really needs to be diagnosed so you can begin treatment. If there is any. Losing the ability to walk is very scary.
You were vague when you said you were alone, so I'm not sure what you meant. I am sorry about the financial problems but I will have you in prayer for all of this. Prayer works.  I sure hope the depression is not worse because of this, but it sounds severe to me.
You are very loved by your "forum family"  -- I hope that gives you some encouragement and hope.
Come back and vent anytime you can or need to.
Hugs 'n love,
Hope
