    vTOS Surgery Update Part 4

    June 22, 2022 / 1 Comment

    My Journey with Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrom part 4! This journey has been more challenging than I thought it would be and as I’m writing this update which is way overdue I am getting ready for another surgery.

    Let’s start at the beginning for the last few weeks I had noticed my right arm was swollen and turning blue and purple. There was small bruise on my shoulder but I hadn’t injured it.
