List of all my ideas for long-term relief of TOS.
Quote:
TOS is caused mainly by a fibrosed/transformed scalene muscle and a perineural fibrosis, and sometimes specific anomalies
|
I Reversing fibrosis
Pentoxifylline 800 + tocopherol 1000 for 6 months/2 years
(I have stopped early because little risks of infections/cancers in long-term oral form and the existence of an injectale form that may be more safe.)

Decorin therapy in scalene
(if available - a little complex to explain)
HBO therapy

(dr ellis said it improve TOS with a good number of sessions)
II Managing inflammation and so pain without side effects
MAST CELL stabilisater NORMAST (palmitoylethanolamide)

(i may try)
III Trying to get rid of muscle problems
PT - Anti gravity

(If you want relief, but it is long and symptoms returns if you use your arms for working.)
Trainning soulder muscle elevation with botox ?
If scalenes are not active (with the botox), strengtening can be a good idea for elevating collarbone and all that stuff, without involving scalenes)

IV Pain management with some side effect :
Perineural heparin every 15 days (you must not work), epo (1/3 of chance to be free of pain but side effects).
That all
idea of futur research : Heparin with an antioxidant/anti-tgfb1
