IF there is a serious arterial and venous issue, the only way to fix that is with surgery. I have never heard of anyone with arterial or venous TOS that was cured with physical therapy or any type of massage, exercise. It's actually pretty straight forward.

Delaying the surgery IF this is the case will only complicate matters. I would have probably recovered much faster if not for all the damage caused by physical therapy. I was lucky I didn't get a clot. While I was waiting for the surgeries I was not allowed to raise my arms at all because the risk of clots was so high.
