Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
I have been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome by two chiropractors, and an orthopedic doctor/surgeon. I also have mild scoliosis in the very top of my back. I have never thought that there could be a connection between the two but recently I have been wondering if there could be. The thoracic outlet syndrome is much more promenet in my left shoulder, and my spine curves to the right. I have constant neck, shoulder, and arm/hand pain from it. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I am a 16 year old gymnast. And was diagnosed about a year ago after going to multiple doctors/ chiropractors trying to find out what was wrong with me. I had major pain in my left shoulder and had had no fall or trauma to the shoulder that I could remember. I have had no imaging tests done other than x-Rays because an MRI is too expensive. I guess my main question is if anybody else has had a correlation between scoliosis and thoracic outlet syndrome.
