RE: [Thoracic Outlet Syndrome] New member

Jeff, Thank you so much for your update. Three weeks is not
very long after surgery; will most likely take time for the body
to heal and get back in gear. I am sure other group members who
have had the surgery will respond to you on their personal info.
Thanks for sharing with us.
