Hi! I was on the other forums a few years ago as I developed TOS on the right side due to a car accident. I eventually had surgery and my 1st rib turned out to be abnormal. All nervous and vascular symptoms disappeared (or greatly diminished) since surgery; however, I'm back on the forums as I've likely sustained an injury to my left brachial plexus in a fall 3 months ago. Besides neurologic symptoms, I am now experiencing vascular compromise problems. Due to the swelling, the doctors are finally ordering imaging of the shoulder and brachial plexus.

A bit about myself: I live in Washington and have a 2-year-old son. He's a good kid!

Hi Sheri,
It's great to hear that your surgery worked well for you, but sorry to hear about the fall.
It seems like these things can get set off again quite easily sometimes.
I remember we had a few in the past that had surgery and later had a car accident that caused a re occurrence of sx.

hope to visit more with you
