I was diagnosed with tos after a year of being diagnosed with 5 other things first.
The doctor who diagnosed me is a peripheral nerve surgeon/orthopedic surgeon.
He did NO diagnostic tests other than lift your arm, turn your head, feel my pulse. He says there are NO other diagnostic tests, and the only way I will get better is for him to cut into me once & release the pinched nerve, and than possibly 2 other surgeries afterwards (maybe on my elbow, than my hand if need be)
Please send me any info on diagnostic tests I can try, and what type of doctor I need to see.
I am in New Jersey, so if your local any names of doctors you recommend would be great too.
The only way I have found to keep my pain level relatively down is therapeutic massage & to not use my arm, and no lifting.
This surgeon is trying to force me back to my (very physical job) which I am not physically able to do, to force me to choose the surgery.
It's workmans comp, I have a lawyer, but I really need help on what to do.
