I know it's just nerve pain, but what freaking nerve??...
I have tried stretching out my scalene, did my snow angels, put capsaicin patch all over and a flector patch on my neck, tried tens unit on it.. crap it wont go away..
Anyone have issues like this with TOS??
thanks, J.

I had this a little before transaxillary rib resections (bilateral), and definitely. bad. after. I referred to it as the knitting needle in my shoulder blade pain. PT helps. Anything to relax those muscles helps. The things that have worked best for that area: manual adjustments, and direct, LIGHT, massage of that area. I find as my tension increases, so does that pain.
Does anyone know why this increases after surgery? I have been told it is the position your arm is in during the operation.
