Glad you're on the road to recovery. That is good to hear. Did you notice an immediate relief in your symptoms? I have heard many say as much. What sort of odds are they giving you for a prognosis ? It's hard when the literature suggests only about a 40% success rate, long term. My fear is going through all of that only to wind up back at square one or worse.

I too have bilateral symptoms so it would be I'm guessing a double case of surgery though I know they can't do them at the same time. What are you able to do or not do while in recovery? Did you do any scalene blocks to confirm a diagnosis? I am guessing if there were circulatory issues involved then the case for surgery was probably more clear cut.

Will you return to work? Or?

Lately I am finding it hard to do little things like drive. The vibrations in the steering wheel seem to excite my nerves and it feels like a painful tickle. Frustrating and scary because I don't recall seeing that listed by anyone else. Seems people report more outright pain.
