Thank you for your replies and welcomes. I am sure I will have many more questions and will be happy to share my experiences as I proceed.
I do have a question stemming from looking at the FAQ: I was surprised to see a thread on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I have just been diagnosed with TOS as well but thought that was related to my having had both rotator cuffs surgically repaired (also stemming from the accident). Is there a connection between herniated cervical disks and TOS?
