Default Neck Pain & body wide pain after TOS surgery

Recently, I came across articles about Fibromyalgia, as I have been experiencing ongoing pain since Thoracic Outlet surgery that has traveled body wide. I thought i would share that those of us who have ongoing pain especially in the neck and have been told it could be Fibromyalgia that there is a condition called "positional cervical cord compression" that shares similar symptoms of Fibro and that it is thought that it can be the cause of the pain due to extension of the neck back that causes "irritation to the spinal cord".
If anyone is interested in these articles, look up "Positional Cervical Cord Compression" by author Andrew Holman, MD
