I was diagnosed with TOS by Dr. Togut. But, now I have doctors that say I have myofascial pain disorder. I have been seeing some good doctors who actually communicate with each other and try to help me.
TOS or myofascial etc...who knows...many of the symptoms mimic each other. And, there is so much that the medical community is still learning that it is almost trial and error to see what works or not.
As you all know, having TOS or Myofascial Pain or whatever is a disability that others cannot see. It is hard to explain to your family, friends, co-workers what you are going through because they just wouldn't understand.
Having this forum and others who understand what this is like is so important. I am so glad that when I came back to it that there were good people still here supporting each other.

Oh Nat, is it NAT treaty? from out here by me? Oh I wnder so much about those that move on, if they are better or just in changes of life. We are all here for each other. I remember the first time I found the old forum in 97 and how much it meant to me to meet those that got it, even smarted then the doc's and kinder at times.
I think that the myofascial is part of treating TOS and that is where I an at, I treat the myofascial and can get along. Where the nerve inserts into the muscle try to calm it down so the muscle stops creating a splint around it, or spasm. The wings, traps under armpits and up over the shoulder are my major complaint. The hips, low back come from the bad posture aggrivating back issues. Even the ankles and feet.
I am so glad you are back, I have been having down time reading, but had a break posting getting myself together the last year.
Always open arms here for new and old, unconditional hearts of care.
Have you by any chance seen Dr. Scott Fried? He has a dedication like Dr. T.
Hey Dr. T has a gf, real serious, they travel and are adventurous. Good for him.
Hugs to you
