Thumbs Up Suffered w/TOS for 15 yrs.

After being diagnosed 15 yrs ago w/TOS my pain mgt. Dr. gave up because my employer (AT&T) would deny her treatment recommendations. After yrs of going from Dr. to Dr., meds, PT, etc. I found a neurosurgeon in Santa Monica who has developed MRI Neurography which he used to finally be able to tell where and how my nerves were being compressed. He did surgery in my thoracic area, minimally invasive. He also did surgery in my buttock area because my sciatic nerve was being compressed by the periformis muscle. He was a God send. I am 5 wks post op. I feel that I am on my way to full recovery. I feel I have gotten my life back.

That's amazing! Congrats on your road to recovery!!!! We have lots of members here in CA. I wonder if you'd mind sharing a recommendation of your doctor so we could add it to our Dr and PT sticky?
