I was diagnosed a week ago. Angered after I had complained for 6 months of horrendous pain following my cervical rib removal for TOS in August. Finally I saw a physiatrist and said you need injections ASAP. My questions on the forum: I have CRPS in neck area, shoulder, and right arm as surgery was in C7 spine, does anyone here have it in the face. Am super worried about it spreading there. Am young, cute, was active (active volleyball, pilot, forester, fisherwoman) trying to get off pity party and found this site to be helpful. Was told by my pain clinic they shouldve put in a nerve block prior to my surgery to prevent this god awful thing. Didn't have one, and am furious. They need to put better information on their "What to Expect from Thoracic outlet surgery" pamphlets, or any pre-surgery pamphlets!"
