Oh no-who did your first surgery? Was it open or lap? I’m so sorry. I had open surgery a year ago and am still having problems. Keep searching for answers. What tests are they doing?

Hi

I think you may have miss-read my reply. I haven't had my operation yet. In the UK they cancelled all ops because of Covid-19. I got my phone call 5 days before I was to go in; that was last April.

I was asking about your oporation and the fact they may not have cut the ligament back far enough causing recompression.

Dr. Swee Tan, a vascular surgeon in Seattle. This time around, I've had a doppler ultrasound and a CTA. I have a feeling they are going to want to do another one to confirm the ultrasound results, possibly an angiogram. I had one of those in 2015 and it was not a fun experience.
