I haven't heard anything about the Cleveland Clinic TOS clinic..

I've read of the RSD /CRPS Cleveland Clinic.


Moltra did/do you have nerve - NTOS , VTOS or both?
Unfortunately nerve TOS can have lingering pain.. the old - "nerves can't take a joke" thing..

How long has it been since your surgeries?
If over a year internal scar tissue could be part of the problem..

Does any massage pr PT help?
Have you tried any self care things like IF stim or TENS? Some chiros & PL places have them to try before buying one yourself..
* DO NOT let anyone turn them up too high, only a slight vibration sensation should happen..

You might even need to have meds change try some different ones?
any muscle relaxant?
any anti depressant (can help pain control when added w/ pain med)
when we are in pain we tend to hold breath and tense up- this clamps down on cell fluid /lymph system cleansing.. short version explanation..

Or maybe look into SCS - spinal cord stimulator.
We have a sub forum about those..
