So in 2003 for the RSI/TOS combo I brought those things back into use again.
Also got a magnet necklace but it got heavy and irritating as the spasms and scalene tightness increased- same with the wrist magnet bracelets.
other things-
stopped doing almost anything with hands/arms for awhile at first as I had pain & weakness with any rotating (pronation) of the wrists.
nutrition
fluids
diaphragmatic breathing deep= belly breaths
my forearms were very affected at first so lots of ice/heat & rest for those -- but that was mostly before the whole upper body TOS stuff came into play
