Glad to hear your surgery went well!! I'm a fellow Michigander and I'm scheduled for a first rib resection and scalenectomy in a few weeks with a doctor at St. Joseph's in Ann Arbor. The vascular surgeon who is doing it is affiliated with St. Joe, but is also a clinical professor at U of M. I was diagnosed with true neurogenic TOS with arterial components. Pain has become unbearable, my circulation is being affected more and more every week, I have some muscle atrophy, and PT isn't helping at all... my doctor suggested surgery as the next step. It's reassuring to hear that your surgery went well and you're feeling relief. Take care!!
