I have just been diagnoses with TOS. Unfortunately, it was diagnosed at least 7 years later. The original complaints were treated by C5 disc replacment which did not help the pain at all. At the time I was willing to do just about anything to get rid of the pain. (in 1995) Then in 1997 the nurse at my office found I had no pulse in left arm. I was referred to Cardiologist, they found that I had 100% blockage in left subclavian artery. After two attempts to open artery and save my arm, finally the artery was opened in 1998. Since that time, the pain has never decreased and now I have uncontrollable "malignant" hypertension. I believe that the B/P problems may be a result of the TOS. I need to know what kind of treatments there are and what your experience has been with this syndrome. I am desparate. I have not been able to work since 1998 and now they say I have TOS along with the other problems. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help. Sandy
