I have been dealing with TOS on both sides for about 9 months now and I am scheduled to have my first rib resection next week. I have been doing PT for about 2 months now and I am starting to see some improvements within the last two weeks but I also haven't been working and hardly doing anything with my hands for the past month. At this point I am debating on whether I should go through with the surgery or go back to work and hope it doesn't get worse again.
Another concern of mine is if I don't get the surgery now what are the odds of me needing it later down the road in 5 or 10 years and at that point would I be better off doing it now as more of a prevention.
