I am to the point where I want surgery. I am 28 years old but I have been suffering from this since I was 26, most likely due to weight lifting.
I know that there are injections and botox treatments but I am afraid as I have read stories of serious injuries.
*edit*
Back to my original question, has anyone tried attending "The UCSD Center for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome" or have heard any thing from this group?

I just read your post. I too have TOS and live in the L.A. area. Your story is just like mine. I did weight lifting, the repetitive movements did it for sure, thenI had a car accident, from that it's been downhill ever since. What did you end up doing? What DR.'s did you see here in L.A.? What horror stories did you hear about injections? They want to do more on me & I think I too need surgery. Please share with me! I hope you are better.
Thank you, Mitsy
