So six weeks ago I had left shoulder surgery. This may or may not have contributed to my current condition. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it did considering how immobile I was in the early stages.
Anyways, had a followup appt with my ortho. I had already discussed the previous episodes I'd had with my TOS symptoms. Last time I discussed this my ortho basically said, "let's not chase this with all kinds of tests, etc. Best guess is that this is a brachial plexopathy that will pass."
So, I bring this up again yesterday and the whole thing was just pooh poohed. "Let's see where you are in another six weeks."
I was like, "Six weeks? I can't sleep a lick now and you want to wait another six weeks? I could be dead in six weeks."
So frustrating.
Unfortunately, I've seen this movie before. The only two Drs. who get this are Dr. Donahue at Mass General and Dr. Kasparian at Lahey Clinic.
