For more than a decade, Carrie has lived with excruciating pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). Despite countless doctors, surgeries, and medications, nothing has provided lasting relief.
Her pain is so severe that sitting upright feels impossible, leaving her dependent on her husband for daily tasks. She describes her suffering as “beyond a 10” on the pain scale — “torture.”
Now, Carrie is seeking help from Dr. Tim Tollestrup, a pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon known for his expertise in brachial plexus decompression. This video is different: it shares Carrie’s life before surgery, offering a rare look at the devastating impact of untreated nerve pain.
We will continue to follow Carrie’s journey after surgery to see if she finds the miracle she has been hoping for.
