Default TOS, RSI, and Neuropathy

Hi Everyone:

I posted in the PN forum, but maybe it's more appropriate here.

I'm a long time TOS sufferer. I had surgery in December on my left side with some improvement. I had the pec minor release last September with pretty good results. At the time of my surgery, I started having numbness in my feet. Dr. Sanders said there was no connection.

Since then, the numbness has turned to pain and worked it's way up to my knees and lower legs. So now I have TOS and was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy by my GP.

I'm wondering if anyone feels there is a link between repetitive strain injury and peripheral neuropathy? I'm aware of the link between RSI and TOS.

I was planning to have the surgery on my right side, but Dr. Sanders has retired. At this point, my nerves seem so fried I'm not sure what will help....
