Foot Numbness associated with TOS
Hello I am new to this forum but it looks like a great community. I have a question for the group. Have any of you with TOS experienced numbess in your feet?
*About 4 years ago I started to have slight numbness in my left hand (I'm right handed). I was living overseas so I did not have access to a good doctor.
* 2 years ago I moved to the Bay area and I went to see a doctor. At that time I was having constant numbness in my left hand.
* I work for a large corporation so our work stations are set up very well. We even have work station evaluations and software on our computers to make us take breaks.
* My doctor sent me to a neurologist. The neorologist conducted nerve tests and rulled out carpul tunnel. She thought it was nerve entrapment on my elblow so she sent me to a surgon.
* The surgon performed an ulnar nerve release. After recoving I was very disappointed to have the same numbness continue.
* About a year ago I started having numbess in both hands.
* Neorolgist had an MRI done of my neck and found slight disk degeneration. She sent me to PT.
* My PT informed me she thought I had TOS which I had never heard of before.
* PT recommended I see Peter Edglow a PT who specializes in TOS.
* I've been doing PT with Peter for 5 weeks with some slight imprvovement. I notice significant improvement if I maintain a chin in, head back posture.
* In the last 2 weeks my right foot has started to develop almost continuous numbness.
My question is, does anyone else with TOS have foot numbess? I have not seen any other connections in doing research. I'm starting to wonder if I have some other spinal issues that are causing the problems.
My symptoms never include pain only numbess. Now I have been transferred to an international location. My only help is self literature and my self PT that Peter Edglow taught me. Thanks
