Hearing about the Colorado Rockies pitcher makes me feel a lot better. I can't postpone the surgery because I can't waste time getting back into my softball routine and Ive been having constant pain for the last year or so. . . But we have researched a lot about TOS and the surgeon I will be going to. He's suppose to be one of the best in the country so it gives me some relief. His name is Dr. Thompson out of St. Louis, MO. This surgery seems to be the right thing to do and definitely the last resort, after months and months of physical therapy; I suppose Im just nervous considering its going to take place so soon. Thank you for all of the support |

It's good to hear that you did the researching, I was worried about that part .
Phys therapy Just don't rush yourself during the healing process. Make sure you have some expert PT people and do the ROM routines and everything for short sessions many times a day when dr OKs it. If you seem to be having any problems during PT and they don't adjust things so it works better for you -don't be afraid to ask for a different therapist or go to another place. There are good and bad out there and you only have one body. I found I got better PTs with each change, plus I learned a lot from asking questions and watching what they did. {I didn't have surgery , but many sessions of PT for RSI type of TOS} Be careful when driving or riding in a car because a few got re injured quite soon after recovery due to accidents. Just in case you are tempted to go riding around with some one that might be a bit reckless or inexperienced. Best of luck and let us know how you are doing when you can.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Dr. Thompson did Aaron Cooks surgery. I have heard great things about this doctor and think you are in good hands. |
