Hello everyone. I just joined this group because my daughter has been
diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome by a specialist in Louisville.
He discussed a surgical option, scalenectomy(spelling?), which is
removal of muscle tissue from her neck to relieve the compression. We
are not happy with the thought of this. I was wondering if anyone on
this site has any experience with conservative management of this
problem. I have watched my daughter suffer so much with this, it is
very painful. We have gone from one doctor to another to finally find
out what is wrong. There has to be a better option that surgery. If
anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know. Thank you!
