how do u think i feel? im 25 years old, in my peak and along comes TOS. there has been times i have very strongly considered ending it all but then i jus woke up one day and thought there is alot worse then me out there.

Until you have tried everything , and it will take time ( give it 2 years or so) i woudlnt be gettting so down.

Like i said before there is a massage therapist i know that developed TOS and he took 9 months off work and is now back to work and feeling nearly pain free.

Its a process that alot of people and even Physio's dont understand or they jus dont botehr telling you. I have notcied with all the specialists u see none of them tell u wat they advise you shoudlnt do .

Me persoanlly im working hard now about (70hrs a week) and wen i have enough cash saved, im taking at least 3 months off work and dedicationg every single day to eating right , streching and strengthening and if after 3 - 6months im still not feeling good enough ill go back to surgeon and see wat he thinks.

If i have to ill get surgery because i understand long term compression to the arteries can cause serious damage after a while . and if after surgery im feeling worse then i was before.. ill go out with a bang somehow , but before that i will try everything possible.
