Like it is true that TOS isn't my only problem, but I think I'm being paranoid trying to stick them all together. Worst case scenario, I get the surgery and it doesn't help and I just move on from there with just a few weeks of pain to complain about. Best case scenario I'm cured and I put this whole year of misery behind me and move on with my life (besides posting here with you guys ofc )

I mean my only debate is getting a second opinion, but my insurance has me on a clock since my coverage changes at the end of December, and my doc from what i read is one of the top of his field, Dr Pearl. So I'm thinking just go for it. You guys with agree?
I am more of an aggressive person when it comes to medical care. I would prefer it to just be fixed if it is possible. In your situation, I would go for it. If it feels right to you, it is probably the right decision.
