Hi Tracey,

I just wanted to mention that when they diagnosed me with TOS, it was because I didn't have a pulse in my left side when my arm was raised. That was the major reason why I needed surgery. Did they check for a pulse? Also, I could control the blood flow in my arm. If I left it down, it would swell and get red. If I would lift it up, it would turn white.

I also had some of the symptoms that you say in my left side/shoulder and such. Has anyone said something about a pinched nerve??????
