I'm extremely lucky - I live in the UK and therefore all my healthcare is free on the NHS. I went to see the doc again today.. I asked to be referred to a physio which they have done. In the meantime I'm going to work at posture. Docs in the UK only seem to know about cervical rib as a cause for TOS. Slightly sweeping statement but not too far offI suspect.

This PMS looks interesting... so a small operation can sort it (or help)? My symptomsare very odd - individually they don't cause too much hastle, but as a whole and when it lingers, it can be a real test on the mind to stay positive. The angina like stuff and the weak arm is worst...

Can I ask another question - is it unusual for symptoms to become worse when hungover? Not that I do that very often - once in a blue moon but the following day is usually a bad day....
Yes, hung over will make your more symptomatic. You didn't rest and you were not aware of the positions and stress and strains you placed on your ooie parts. If you could stay at the "I can't feel any pain point" I'd be drunk all the time, or drinking to that point to maintain although I have found 1 to 2 coolers relaxes me enough to get a little better sleep. I don't do that too often either. come to think of it, I don't know why not

it's great you can get free medical care.

Read other threads as time permits. You will find much helpful info and funny stories, sad ones too.
