The wrong kind of PT can make you worse. 
Also what may have brought on your TOS?
job/desk work/weightlifting/sports injury/previous whiplash- or any other injuries like that?
Even if mostly a posture/repetitive/soft tissue cause it can take years of rehab to turn it around.
And if you are still working while trying to rehab that will take even longer.
I could list more but it would be helpful to see all your sx listed for a better idea of what to suggest. |
I don't have a specific traumatic injury or work that I think has triggered it. I originally tweaked one of my shoulder muscles while coaching my 5 year old daughters hockey team. I was dragging four or five of them around on the their bellies on the ice and 'whipping them' by pulling my hockey stick across my body and them pulling back, effectively sending them spinning like a top across the ice. I only did that a couple of times and ended up with a sore shoulder. after a couple of PT sessions, I ended up having totally different pain, and now numbness.
My pain started at that point in the 2-3 range and stayed there for most of the summer. By late august it jumped again... by this time I had begun doing some chiropractic work... I ended that immediately... but now my pain is in the 7-8-9 range...
Beyond the fluky hockey practice thing that I don't think would have caused this, I work at an office and do spend a fair amount of time on my computer... but I am not sure that is the issue... I do know that I like to sleep with my left arm straight above my head, with my head resting right on top of my left shoulder. I have done this for years, and I wonder if that is what is causing this issue...
