Thank you for the replies! I live in NE & don't know the "rules". After reading all the posts on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome I'm thinking I need a lawyer?

NE is a no-fault state, which means all I have to prove is that my condition worsened on the job. I had no problems whatsoever until my job was computerized. 14 years ago

Thanks again,
Mary

I really think so, TOS is not something that shows on a image or testing, the cervie rib shows but they may claim that it is the cause of your injury and not the job.. complicated situation.

Don't accept any settlement until you have seen some expert TOS drs for evaluations.
Surgery to remove c rib may or may not fix things. That's why the expert docs are needed, for their knowledge & expertise.

Keep exploring our TOS forum as well as the sticky threads there.

I live in another state side by side with the state I was injured in. In finding out what a crumby lawyer I had, I got paperwork that said I have a Medicare Set Aside. Then I found out that I had to have an 8 level surgery C-2 to T-3. They denied it. So I am trying to find another lawyer. He said I was lucky that they denied it. If they had approved it I may have had to go to that other state to have it. A two day drive and I have had this surgeon for 3 prior operations. Yes, they can jerk you around.
