Hi everyone...just thought I'd throw another question out here.

I've been trying to research TOS but it's hard to sit at the computer for more than 5 minutes at a time. I get so frustrated and give up. I can't even get through these threads...it's so frustrating. I'm feeling a bit better tonight but after a few posts...I'm in pain and ready to quit.

I' m a little confused as to how this all works. Once you have TOS and you get treated for it (nerve blocks and therapy) does it go away and "stay away" or is is always going to be an issue? Also, how long is therapy usually needed to treat a severe case? I found some info that has me thinking that once you have TOS ..it never really goes away...but it's manageable. Is that right? I'm just trying to look at what might be ahead. Am I going to have to learn to do things differently, will I be able to get on my bike and ride for an afternoon again? Will I be able to hold a job sitting at a computer all day. At the moment...it doesn't look promising...i can't do any of those things. I'm just wondering if thing do change for the better.

Oh man..I have to quit..pain is back! I'm just wondering if any of you can give me some insight on how this all pans out. Also, will I ever have normal muscle strength in my right arm again. I can't hold my keys without dropping them anymore. I can't even go shopping anymore because I drop everything and look rediculous trying to pick stuff up. My brain thinks...I go to do...then WHAM..can't do it...can't even hold a coffee cup. So, does this ever come back or will I have permanent damage? The Dr hasn't said much on that. I just hope it's not that severe and all this can be fixed eventually.
