Default New Here...Diagnosed with TOS

I have been diagnosed with right side TOS. Atrophy of right arm and hand took me on a search to find out what was wrong. I had carpel tunnel and ulnar nerve surgery 7/2008 which didn't help. Actually things got worse. On to more doctors...my internist, a neurologist, 2 orthopedic doctors and a nerve specialist. Finally the nerve doctor said highly probable TOS. Treatment: 1. Surgery or 2. Physical Therapy. Of course I chose the later. I began PT in April this year. Things are somewhat better...better posture and not as much winging but I am having difficulty with using right hand. It bothers me greatly. Any ideas or suggestions? I feel lost and really get upset with the lack of strength in my right arm and hand.

Thanks!!
