Hey there!

Please get answers to the questions above if you don't already have them because that is risky. I had a nerve block but before I found out I had TOS and for my medial branch nerves in my neck (very small nerves). Obviously that never helped especially since I had been misdiagnosed at the time,
I am from Toronto originally and before I even considered Drs in the States, I did a search and made calls in Toronto. I even saw a team of vascular surgeons at Toronto General. They don't know anything! Well they def do not know enough that can be said for sure. If I know more than the Dr does, that Dr is not coming near me. Try the same approach. Honestly, I have done tons of research and very few not just Toronto but Canadian Drs know much about TOS and that is probably why your surgeon did not remove your entire rib in the first place. Be very cautious about this next step...
