How are your symptoms progressing or improving?
When you do the Adson's test do you get reduced or absent pulse? Have you found anything that helps?

The guy didn't use needles, he used those sticky pads. He started testing me for Carpal tunnel and radial tunnel but all those where negative - then he placed the electrodes on my chest near the BP - and he concluded that
that is where the compression is - bilateral.
If you like, i can probably upload the charts from the test.
As far as i can tell, a positive nerve conduction test is very rare in this condition.
Symptoms are atm progressing i think, its hard to say - but its not improving, i just need to find the right amount of stretches and excercises.
Regarding the Adson test, my pulse went completely away. Tiger Balm and positive thinking helps at the moment
@Chroma: I need another appointment with my rheuma, awaiting a MRI scan of my BP - then i'll probably get the verdict, whether its surgery or PT.
