The first full week of work had its ups and downs. I know I was really tired by the end of each day and when I got home I would have to take an hour nap just so I could make it through the rest of the evening. The thing I had to keep an eye on was that I didn't push myself too hard when I was feeling good because I did that one day and suffered the next. As for the pain, I feel as though my TOS symptoms are gone. I'm just battling surgical pain and the pain I have caused myself by trying to do too much at times. I am now 3 weeks post op and I am starting to feel pretty good as long as I take things slow on the physical side of things. I still get "winded" fairly easy and sometimes it hurts to take a deep breath but I'm determined to feel "normal" again as soon as possible. I start PT next Monday so hopefully it won't be too painful.
