Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
 

Hello,

My name is Beverley I have been diagnosed with TOS I have bilateral extra ribs just noted on new MRI I have been in chronic pain for 25 years I have had a 3 level acdf, carpal release both hands , ulnar nerve decompression with transposition and shoulder scope. I have been in so much pain I tell my self a million times I want to dye. I have now been told I have TOS and Cardio Vascular surgeon will operate in 2 weeks. I need advice can anyone describe their symtoms to me I am in so much pain I can't think. I would love to hear from anyone who has undergone this surgery to remove the rib. All of my pain is left sided neck, shoulder upper back.

Thank you
Beverley
