Hello again.
I'm having surgery in St Louis, with Dr Thompson, in 10 days. I'm getting very nervous and anxious. I would like to know from your experience what I should be expecting. I'm having a scaleneectomy and first rib resection on the right, and pectoralis minor tenotomy on both sides. I know it's a lot, but I'm in really bad shape. TOS nearly ruined my wedding day, and my career. I'm ready for this.

I would like to know from you all what I'm in for; Surgery time? Recovery time? Pain levels? I know what the drs answers are, but I would like a real world answer. My mother had both knees replaced about 10 years ago. She was in less pain after surgery than before. Are we, as tos sufferers, as lucky? Or not so much?

Any insight is greatly appreciated. I promise as always to keep you all as updated as I am able.

Jess
