Arm pit pain and skin sensitivity was very bad, much improved now. He can prescribe nerve pain med for that (Gabapentin). Excellent surgeon. He personally showed me my post-op exercises, not a PT or OT. Will have right side done within a half year (neurogenic with medium nerve compression. Special note, my sister had same surgery 2 yrs ago for venous TOS, so TOS can run in families.
