Thanks! I read your story... yikes 20 yrs I cant even imagine.... I hope you find the relief you need soon! Trust me I understand the merry go around of doctors. Im currently 9 weeks post-op from a Transmastoid Mini-Craniotomy (inner ear/brain) surgery. I was on bed rest the past year, saw 11 doctors in 9 months and ending up self diagnosing myself with 2 rare vestibular disorders. Strangley, after reading through my CT/MRI reports I started wondering if my arm/shoulder pain was actually cervical or TOS. Then 2 doctors mentioned it to me. I read thru a paper by Dr.Sanders and I felt like he was explaining my pain to a T. I just dont know if I am physically/mentally ready now to take on another search about the pain. The 3 arm surgeries left me depressed and the recent serious vestibular problems have drained the life out of me. Although, thanks be to God I am almost 90% recovered. Im tired of doctors and tests and finding out the doctors were wrong and I was right. Now I know why they call it "practicing medicine". I feel like its either find out whats wrong or chop the arm off cus Im tired of the pain. Im only 37, have 2 daughters, work but this pain has left me feeling like half the person I used to be. I always devide my life into before and after pain. Thanks for listening.
