After that visit, I am really discouraged, & this a.m. was worse, can't even put on a shirt, my hands & arms hurt so badly...have to now take Percocet that at least dulls the pain a little..& the big ? is where in the world could I go for help???? Sorry for the rant...it's so discouraging....

Hi ,
I just read about your arm symptoms and wondered if you have heard of Thoracic outlet syndrome {TOS for short}?
Often mis dx'd as carpal tunnel, or elbow entrapment.
Here's a link to our TOS forum useful sticky thread-
