As for the head symptoms, that is not unheard of. The myofacia is very interesting and can pass pain to strange places. That's what makes TOS so hard to diagnose. I've heard of people having those symptoms then them disappearing after surgery even though they weren't really thought to be part of the TOS. Personally, the left side of my face and scalp from the cheek up were numb but that has lifted since having my ribs removed.
Ah i see. Hopefully PT helps a little bit with the stiff neck muscles. My cheek tingles and i get tender spots on my outer eyebrow/temple area. Hoping when i get the ultrasound done it will tell me good news. Surgery is scary as well but if you risk veins/arteries, i guess its the way to go. Thanks again for your help. Are their any positions that you slept in that helped?
