Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but not new to tos. After a long time of dealing with this I was refered back to see a surgeon in my area. I previously had declined surgery, not sure if it would help or make things worse...I am still not convinced. Anyways...I saw the top surgeon around here, he has done MANY of these surgeries, bla, bla, bla. Experienced and skilled, so that is not the issue. I do not think he is a "god". I know the surgery is a coin toss....I have mostly neuro tos, with some vascular.
He wants to do (in 2 stages) a rib resection on both sides, cut the scalene muscles, and a sympathectomy  on both sides. Has anyone else had this all done? It seemed a bit radical to me. I am not nieve...just looking for other tosers input. thanks Jay |
