I am just now 4 weeks post op for venous TOS. I also had a blood clot in my left shoulder due to the compression. So during my 7 days in the hospital there was the catheter procedure to break clots, followed by first rib resection. I have been told normal recovery should take 3-4 weeks, but most postings I've seen speak closer to a few months. I have full range of motion, but the most lingering pain is under my armpit. I may get a MRI to get more answers. I tire very easily still- even walking. I am getting weaned of meds, but I'm afraid it's too soon. Hoping to return to work next week. Any similar experiences or feedback? This past month has been quite difficult. Thanks.
