Default Hi Im New
Hello,

Ive been lurking for a couple of months now, so thought it would be a good idea to start posting !

Im 39 and from the UK and got diagnosed with Venous TOS a few months ago, more specifically Paget-Schrötter syndrome, after spending 3 days in hospital with a purple swollen arm !

The compression actually caused a blood clot under my collar bone, and Ive been on warfarin since then.

I have a follow appointment with the vascular surgeon in September, after which I should know whether I need an operation or not.

Smile Hi, Mikee!
I'm very glad to meet you! Welcome to the NeuroTalk forums, home of some of the nicest and most helpful people you'll ever meet! And that's not just a sales-pitch either.

I'm sorry about your health problems. Long-term illness is such a drag, isn't it? I've been dealing with it for six long years now, and it feels like an eternity. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and good luck, and to let you know that all best wishes are with you.
