Hi again

just got back from the specialist (it wasn't the usual one I see) and he said the mri was normal and there is nothing wrong. I argued that there must be as I have constant numbness in my hand and all the other symptoms.

I asked him if TOS always shows on MRI and he said yes it does and that there is nothing trapped in the thoracic area.

I asked if any long term damage could be caused by this numbness and he said, if your hand gets weak then maybe come back. I told him eg if I get something in my eye, and I close my fingers together to get the some thing out of my eye then my hand feels weak (basically if doing a grasp type movement) and he just raised his eyebrows.

I feel I have been fobbed off and am not happy as I am the one with all the pain and numbness.

They are sending me to physio though - which doesn't make sense.

I saw a London rheumy yesterday who said even though the mri was normal he is not ruling out TOS - very confused.
