Thank you so much. I have read posts here which say strengthening programs are bad as they can further inflame and grow tissue over the entrapped nerves/blood vessels. Has this been your experience? Is there any way to reduce chances of this from occurring.

Also, what TOS symptoms did you have - ever since my accident (story here:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post1083419-246.html), my right trap seems to seize up at the slightest opportunity. I could live with the hand pain and burning (these are the most common symptoms i get through the day) but the above neck/shoulder thing is what is killing me, so to speak.

What is surprising me is that the TOS is worse on the left than the right, but it is the right that seems to have the shoulder/upper back/trap seize up. In fact, exactly where this guys hand is : http://www.abbeychiro.ie/wp-content/...ropractic2.jpg
When i told that to Drs here in India, they looked baffled, but the WUSTL website says its a common feature of NTOS.
