Left hand swells
Left armpit/shoulder area is now hurting
Left arm is useless ! (kidding)

What do I do ?
PT ( not helping)
Take meds
Heat

But an MRA MRI with Contrast dye is how they saw the conmpression of the subclavian artery. It took me 2.5 years to get a Doc. to get the test done.
I am supposed to get an MRI-- my doctor thinks I have TOS and now that I read the symptoms everyone is having things are beginning to make sense. I have seen so many doctors and none have been able to diagnose me. I have had recurring dizziness, fainting, pain in arms and legs as well as many other symptoms. I am glad to see that there may be an answer that explains it all. Not knowing is really frustrating.

Thanks,
Laura
