"It seems that Dr. Thompson wants to throw the kitchen sink at you by decompressing all three potential areas of TOS compression:
- Scalene triangle (scalenectomy)
- Costoclavicular space (rib resection)
- Subcoracoid space (pec minor tenotomy)
What is the evidence that you have all three areas of compression and why are all three procedures necessary? "
I definately have all three areas of compression. Confirmed by others; not just Dr. T. Maybe he does do a one size fits all but from his success rate maybe one size fits most. Im not loving the idea of a surgical option. However several of my family members have had major surgeries to fix areas that cause massive pain. They have all said that it is 100% worth it.
I want to let everyone know that I appreciate all the feedback on here. I need these questions. Thanks
