[Celi]

My name is Celi and I am scheduled for TOS surgery on Dec. 12th. I like many others saw several doctors as well as ER before being diagnosed. I have a Radial arterial occlusion from a blood clot and swelling and pain in arm as well as numbness and pain in fingers. I first saw the Vascular surgeon October 30th and last week decided to go forwrd with sugery due to blood clot which is the second one in my arm which is believed to be caused by the TOS. I am definately anxious and scared but know I can not go on in pain and risk of the clots. I am in Houston Texas and wanted to know if anyone in this area has had the surgery. I also want to know what to expect as I read so many stories of people that have had no relief but some that have. Thanks for a place to go that others understand

Hi Celi,

I had my TOS surgery almost one year to the day of yours.

Who is doing your surgery?

Be sure to check out the OS forum. We have some great posts about post surgery tips.

Good luck!
