Khan, If folks had good issues with TOS in life, adn pain levels they wouldn;t be looking for us on the forum is why there are not more good stories. But, many of the folks here have great support, find managment of their symptoms and information.

The more we learn the better to live with TOS. Also, to get it into a remission or decrease in symptoms.

I would not rule out Botox yet, it may not be the first one that works. I would not rule it out. Several have good results, even work with its use. My son had his first one reently and it was in the second affected side, but was thrilled with the results. It was a well placed injection.

With my trigger point shots, I make sure the doctor is on the mark, I never had Botox, but am considering it with son's good results.
Welcome to the forum, and perhaps you are our great story to come and we will have your example to look forward, too.

Hi Khan welcome hope you well find help here or at lest some comfort in knowing your not a lone. I my self have not been on here long but it was a big relief to find other people with the same pain. To any one else reading this i just realized that a lot of you's have not had surgery. For me it is my only option and even then because i have had to wait so long Dr B has made it very clear that he is only hoping to lower my pain at this point. I have only been living with tos since sept 2004 and i know a lot of you's out there have had it for six yrs and longer. I found that physio only made mine worse as the months went on so Dr B said no more. I don't know if it makes a difference that i have bilateral and i know that a few of the tos'ers have the one side.

But don't forget long lost threads get read in searched by folks new and old on the forum everyday. So if we add additional information, perhaps the Author of the thread may not be back, but someone else will dsicover the helpful thoughts and information too.

I like reading old threads, gosh I wish we had some from ten years up to now from past forums to have a huge data base.
