Hi,
I have been reading here since being diagnosed with TOS in January but have not been posting. I have really appreciated being able to hear about other experiences dealing with this as I don't know anyone personally who understands this. Thanks to everyone for unknowingly helping out like that.
I would like to know if anyone could recommend a well regarded surgeon who would be willing to do a bilateral surgery in less than a year apart?

Hi. My surgeon Dr. Donahue at mass. General in Boston wanted to do my 2nd surgery 6 mos after 1st one. I wasn't ready due to needing peroneal nerve surgery, & then genetic nerve tests. My 2nd surgery is scheduled for 8/6, which will be 17mos. Postop 1st Supraclavicular 1st rib resection, Costotransversectomy, Scalenectomy, Brachial plexus Neuroplasty. I have seen some here have 2nd side done 3 mos. later, but I don't think they had as much taken taken out.
Where are u located and what do u need removed?
Kind regards
Rhonda
