Oh I hope it goes that well for you!!! Fingers crossed!! You are bilateral right? If you are, do you know when you'll have the second surgery?

I think the other things WILL clear up if they know where the compression site is. In some cases surgery may be unsuccessful if the doc isn't sure what is causing compression...pec minor? c'rib? first rib? ant. scalene? middle scalene? All of the above?!?! Anyway, search: batson's plexus and thoracic outlet syndrome...lots of info!!

Before I went to see my current surgeon I was also offered surgery with removal of first rib, scalene and pec minor release.

I'm so glad I got a second opinion. Dr Gharagazloo is looking for a specific abnormality of the first rib and he does not offer surgery unless he knows exactly what is causing the compression and removing that piece alone.

I was very uncomfortable with this ambiguity and "let's remove all that stands in the way just in case" approach.
