Well with two bad TOS arms, you learn to cope. You don't pick things up. You get stools that take you to the high up items. You find different ways to d othe things you would normally do.
I went to an occupational therapist for an evaluation on my symptoms, and she said in her findings that I was extremely creative in getting things done. I use my body in different ways now than I did before. You have to rest a lot more, and you tend to drop a lot of things, but life does go on. It is a pain filled life for me, but I am trying to find ways to carry on.
