Yes, all to familiar.

bilateral is double dose...

I did find that talking on the phone irritated my elbows and made my forearms very weak, very quick. I guess it was the bent and up to the ear that got me. I have a headset now, or limit my time on the handhelds.

Lost my Bluetooth, ugh ! ! ! the cheaper Motorola was more userfriendly.

You probably need a hairdryer on a stand.

Brushing my teeth was painful for years... squeezing out the toothpaste caused pain... Hard to believe, I know, but I've lived through it and didn't like it one bit. And I'm not a better person because of my looooooooong ordeal with TOS and scalenes, pecs, arms, thumbs, elbows, wrists, hands, neck, back, leg experience. Still wish it had never happened and I would have never known the trouble it could be.

yea, and gripping with my thumbs and hands can cause pain all the way to the ears. No fun. do less of it...

try to keep your arms outstretched, palms up if possbile.

I propped my shoulder and arms up with pillows.

I've used 3 inch balloons in my armpits to open up some space, I thought.

LED and infrared light therapy pads have taken my upper body pain scale down tremendously.

You will have to research and identify as much as you can about your symptoms, causes, and if any help or relief. I'm sure there's lots to read under my Avator to help.

Just let us know what is your most difficult tasks to get through and maybe we can help you get lined out that way...

Hope you find some peace some way. I did take pills, but that didn't help too much either. Still too much for one human to bear. miserable trying to get through a day or night when your arms are not cooperating.

Hang in there
