My spouse does pectoral releases for me and we do alot of moist heat. I have also been doing alot of mobility exercises to try and help loosening things up. Have considered going back to it but with my health insurance I am limited by where I can go and haven't been able to find many people who have experience with TOS.

I also had one other semi concern I wanted to address. For the past week or so I have had a horrible cough and congestion in my throat. I am a smoker and it when I try to smoke I exhale but it still seems as though I have it still in my lungs and it is trapped which forces me to cough. Don't know if it could be anything related to TOS or not.
Hello. My neighbor also had surgery for TOS and she feels muscle relaxers help her tremendously. She does not work, but any work at PC longer than an hr, she pays a price. Her surgery was in March. Mine was in June and my rerun to work in Sept did not fare well, I had to quit and I am applying for disability with Soc sec. I believe that it is still quite common for TOS folks to get somewhat better with surgery, but that a change in lifestyle for many of us is inevitable. It is such Terrible condition to endure...
