Most people that have tos on one side usually have it on the other side too. You can have similar symptoms or very few. You can try the pt. What I have experienced there is few that get a great deal of relief with it. It will educate you on posture tips and stretches that can give some relief though. If you don't find you help with pt. Research the name of the doctor that did the rib resection on the lead singer for the hanson band member. He had his rib removed at baylor medical center. If you have a positive dopler with all those symptoms you probably would benefit from that the most. Your having compression at the bracial plexus which puts pressure on those nerves that are giving you the symptoms. Scar tissue forms over time and the longer one goes on the more forms and your outcome may not be a good with a long delay. Did you loose your pulse with your arms elevated above your head. If so don't do activities that require you to elevate your arms over your head. I hope this information is some help. It is a no fun problem. Im just curious. Do one of you shoulders droop lower on the affected side. Do you have a long neck and broad shoulders. Many tos that haven't had a causing injury have the same build.
