LiveLoveandTrust, thank you! I really do feel much better since finding out what's going on. I had no idea how good it would feel to finally know. And congratulations on your surgery, I hope everything heals perfectly! I know your surgery was only 3 weeks ago, so it may be too soon to tell, but is it something you would recommend for other A/NTOS sufferers? You must be so excited to have that behind you![/QUOTE]

Thank you for your kind words
If the pain is affecting your quality of life, you know in your heart that this is the correct diagnosis, and especially is you have A or V TOS I would recommend the surgery. Some things feel better now, others worse. I would say that a lot if not most of my TOS pain has been alleviated and now I'm trying to figure out what post-op pain is permanent vs. what is just healing pain. It takes about a year to fully sort that out.
Overall though, if you ask me if I'd do it again, yes, I would get the surgery again because at the very least, trying to make it better is very worth it.
