Welcome to both of our new members !

It's always a good idea to get at least 2 opinions before most surgeries - and this is a pretty major one.

I'm sure most with TOS that do have successful surgeries don't post on forums like this very often.

But sometimes it doesn't work, or the wrong area, or not all areas were decompressed, or post op scar tissue will develop causing continued or chronic pain and symptoms. Or even a inexperienced surgeon - always go to a well known and expert TOS surgeon.

There are many things to weigh - pros and cons before going with surgery for TOS.

Just want to mention there is a possible risk of RSD/CRPS and you should talk with dr about that also.
