Unreal. Shocked.

4 weeks of deep tissue and posterior work goes poof.

It's really surprising to me. During my first TOS episode on the right side, once this thing was kicked it was kicked for good. Not so much on my left side the 2nd time around.

As I did all this tissue work I could see the results day by day until the point where there was zero symptoms. It's amazing to me it's back in the blink of an eye.

Something tripped me up. And I'm sure it's me. Everything was going great. Was slowly getting more active in the gym. What I think did it was being a bit too aggressive the last couple weeks and acting "normal." For example, I added some overhead press work. And I think the tweaking of my back just was the last straw.

It's not as debilitating as it was in December. I actually got plenty of sleep last night. This was impossible before. Still, it's not pleasant. The burning forearm pain has returned. Nothing in the fingers. Crossing fingers I can nip this in the bud quickly before I lose strength again.

Really don't think the scalenes are the culprit. Botox didn't do anything. I think it's the dreaded pec minor. I've been rehabbing the left shoulder and working my way up in terms of pressing. Maybe it just got tight. Still, this seems a bit absurd.

I'm starting to wonder if my pec minor is just prone to tightness.

Will be talking to Dr. Donahue this week. Maybe a botox injection in pec minor makes sense.

Going to just layoff this week, do a lot of stretching, and do double duty on pec minor again and see if this starts to recede.
