Hi, I have Vascular TOS, however my the left subclavian vein is completely patent and I’m currently taking blood thinners. Will I ever be able to weight lift or exercise again and do I need my rib removed? I would appreciate a response

Is surgery generally the path way for TOS patients with muscle atrophy?
I've had hand wasting for a number of months now, PT has drastically increased by mobility and strength. However wasting is still present, will wasting generally clear after time or is surgery required?

First, remember that we don't provide specific health information for any patient through this modality, but you are free to reach out to us for private consultation at www.tosmri.com/contact-us/. Second, muscle wasting by itself suggests chronic denervation, which makes full recovery less likely. Third, in a person with presumed NTOS, it would be wise to confirm not only the diagnosis, but the anatomic causes, which of course is done best by specialized TOS MRI.

For someone with VTOS and NTOS with worsening decline and progressive autonomic dysfunction a candidate for surgery. 10yrs of hell and now finally having to go down surgery path but am scared
