The weather in the northeast hasn't helped, why do we live here? We've had maybe 3 days of spring this year. The grass is happy, though, very green and needs to be mowed...

The weather is NASTY, I don't know what's up with me this week, I was first blaming the weather, but, now I feel like a have cold or something. This rsd, is just terrible at playing tricks on us. I've been feeling unusually terrible for the last four days.
Sandy, when you mentioned that your headaches are triggered or worsened when you use your arms, that's one of TOS's primary effects.
A good hand surgeon can be helpful with the diagnoses, if nobody else makes it.
A tens unit used to give me some relief with the tos.
Now, after having it for so long, just as Dr Schwartzman and his team told me, so many muscles would atrophy, and they have.
I've never had any surgery for it, I know someone who has, I think they take a rib out, but it's mainly a soft tissue injury, and ties right in with rsd..
unfortunately.
I hope you find some relief for those headaches!
Have you tried a chiropractor?
Pete
