Are pain pills successful in relieving pain caused by thoracic outlet syndrome?

Thoracic Outlet: Pain pills are at time successful in temporarily relieving pain but they do nothing to cure the cause of the pain of thoracic outlet syndrome. It is necessary for you to get medical help. See your doctor for an examination and careful diagnosis. A proper course of treatment can help you relieve the cause of the pain.

Yes temporarily: Physical therapy, and occasionally surgery may be necessary for longer or permanent relief.
