I hope she has stopped those activities?
They will just make it worse until the problems is resolved..and it might take awhile..

Use the search tool for - winging scapula

Expert PT is needed for these injuries, ask PTs about any additional training/skills.
I don't recall any with winging issues on the Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) forum having surgery for winging specifically..they may have had TOS surgery and the winging was till an issue..

Yes she has stopped all activies-couldn't do them even if OK because of decreased ROM and pain. This is a bit different than TOS. We have a f/u appt. with ortho Wed and hope to get answers. The neurologist had very little to say so I am anxious for this up coming appt. I just don't want to wait the 18 months and then find out I should have pursued another option but be too late. Thanks!

CVand3,

I hope the appointment goes well. That Washington U nerve injury site specifically mentioned compression of the thoracic nerve as a reason for winged scapula and said PT is often the treatment. They do have a surgery for it but hopefully that won't be needed. I support your quest for quick info. It can make a difference. You certainly want to be sure what to do.
