I am also a patient of Dr. Donahue, and prior to deciding to have bilateral rib resections last year, I tried Botox in my scalenes and pec minor muscles. Unfortunately, I didn't have any relief from my symptoms, so I opted for surgery. It was a long road, but I would certainly consider doing it all over again if I was given the opportunity. Dr Donahue and his team are amazing , and surgery was totally worth it, given that I had run out of other options.

I saw Eileen Collins at MGH and Catherine Wee at Spaulding Rehab prior to surgery. Both individuals said they were unable to assist me further at that time.

Please let me know if you have questions! Happy to help!

I am currently having Botox injections scheduled with Dr Donahue. Two in the neck and two in the pecs. Any info what to expect? If they don’t work what’s next? Thanks

Hi Jasonunarmed

How did you make out? I just had the same done on Friday at MGH and I'm feeling worse since the shots but its only been 2 days and they said I could get a flare up. I just hope this doesn't last 3-4 months. I was doing really well with PT for TOS but never quite able to get "better". My hope was the shots would push me over the line

Thanks
