Good article comparing sucess rates of 2 approaches to TOS surgery for patients without neurological evidence of TOS - by Drs. Campbell and Sheth from Johns Hopkins.

Be SURE to read the part about analysis of surgery failures - the Drs thinking is very much what I have kind of suspected for some time, living with this beast.

Victoria, is this article on the TOS Pages?

I guess this is the surgery failure I have as well Beth!

Six months of pain free living and then everything came back. It's not like the cat coming back I can assure you of that.

So now the whole thing of doctors again tests again blah blah blah!

Still not sure what's going on with the Microsoft site have not heard anything from them......... since August 22 this has been going on!!!!

I have many articles Beth, not sure if this is one of them it may be but it's difficult to read like this........ if you do want more on surgical failure rates I can certainly look that up because I had a file folder full of them....... just means I need to scan them into the computer or find them online....... seen as our lovely MSN site is down!

Take care most sincerely,

Victoria
