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.
" Tiger Balm and positive thinking helps....."

OH YEAH!!!!!!! That's my little jar of wonder too. Good old Tiger Balm, far more effective than all the drug( ibuprofen and other NSAIDS ) induced muscle rubs I've tried in the past.

Best of luck with pain management. SD38
