well...I had a new MRI and found that now I have a few neighboring discs/joints that are now problematic. The bottom one is C7-T1 so of course the ordering doctor assumes my pain is this and not TOS. But I have the cold hand, the armpit pain, and many others that to me seem like TOS.

Have other TOSers had issues with this C7-T1 joint and have been able to distinguish what the pain is? This pain doctor recommends a course in epidurals but I want to avoid such injections as I feel I've had my life's max. Now I have issues from C3 through T1 and want to avoid any more spine surgery if possible.

cheers and thx for reading as always. have a good day.

BW-thx for your response and good ideas. I am going ahead with the surgery as I am less flared - although still in pain.
