Hi Shadow and thanks for reply. What I do not understand is that they did the tests, roos? test, hands went white and had pins and needles and aching arms. I had diminished pulse too when they lifted my arm and I turned my head...all the sx are there too. They have even seen when I raise my arm that my vein sinks in bit swells up when down so why thy are not taking it further is beyond me.I am glad that you were able to find someone good!!

I just do not know what to do now. Maybe I should go back to my GP again and tell him I am not happy. Or even email the initial specialist that saw me and agreed it was TOS after he did the tests.

Sorry to hear of your situation. Sounds like you should look around for a new doctor. I also agree with mspenny, find yourself a good manual therapist (either a physical therapist or a massage therapist). I had literally an hour of massage and light stretching with my PT today, we skipped all exercises since I can do them at home. Also, do you have the book that a lot of folks on here recommend: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies (with Amber Davies)? I highly recommend it for self massage as well as just learning about anatomy and referred pain.
