I have already met with Dr.Johansen and he wants to operate on my right side. Removal of the cervical rib, scalenectomy, and remove scar tissue.

Dr.Donahue in Boston would be a second opinion.

Dr. Johansen had me do a scalene block and it didn't really do much. It relieved some of the pain but only for about 15 minutes. Thus he said Botox is not an option for me.

Next monday I am getting a massage from someone familiar with TOS. I have had good luck with massage in the past in terms of temporary pain relief.

Only 10 shifts at work (lap top...sigh) to go. counting down the days.
