Tos gets better or worse with surgery
Tos gets better or worse without surgery
Tos gets better or worse with modifications
TOS gets better or worse with our body, jobs, lifestyle

One thing we should all agree on is We have to manage our TOS before it manages us...

AND we have to understand TOS surgery is NOT a cure, it may or may not make things better. It is not like taking out the appendix and appendicitis goes away. TOS will always be there, it is just one way to manage.

It may or may not make things better due to the nature of how the TOS developed.

All we really want is relief and our lives back. We read, compare, research, embrace good ideas, try anything from Biofreeze to Zyprexa......

In the end we hope and pray for relief, remission, the monster to go away.
