O, even younger... parents of teenagers contact us of congenital TOS and young athletes. Heartfelt times as TOS is becoming more recognizable. In the medical field there is less than 1% Neurology specialists and what is that % of TOS speciality, .5% ??

I would speculate a "real" recovery statistic is more like 20% probability from nTOS decompression. That is just frustrating beyond all words that there can't be better odds. Sadly I'm at the place mentally where i'd even gamble with those odds. I'm that desperate.
