Hi! I was diagnose with TOS some time after I had a car accident and suffered from a trauma to the upper chest area.
I was having panic attacks when my hands and arms would turn blue and when the heaviness and tingling would start. Then the devastating inability to move my neck. Grrr…I still hate to remember what I was going through.
I was taking pain killers, was prescribed a diet (imagine being on diet with such symptoms) and had physical therapy. I talked to the doc about the surgery. He said it is often performed with good results but I wanted to wait a little bit ( although my troubles were huge) to see if the physical therapy would work.

I still fear of recurrence as I heard it happens often. I exercise regularly and pay attention to my posture all the time.
I can’t relate to your leg problems because I didn’t have any. Are the doc having the slightest possible ideas?
