I wish I had found him or dr. Atasoy early on. I know he's up in age, but he knows his stuff.
There are major improvements in surgical techniques, I know.
Loved your post.
Hang in there and praying your outcome is great and everlasting.
Life keeps comi g at you, sometimes like a freight train.
Dr. Atasoy is my doc and I'm pleased with him. He helped me in so many ways.

Dr. Atasoy was the first doctor to diagnose me with TOS. I agree he knows his stuff and he was the first doctor to do a rib ressection and scalene muscle removal in the same surgery. He offered the scalene muscle removal to me after physical therapy failed. I was concerned with his ability for a surgery that delicate at his age so I decided to get another opinion. I did ask his nurse why he recommended the scalene muscle surgery and not the rib ressection. Apparently he no longer does the rib ressections and I did not really understand why but assumed it was something to do with his age. She told me he was retiring at the end of the year but he has been saying that for years.
Good luck and I do hope you are able to get better with or without surgery. Please keep us updated as to how you are doing.
