Hi, my name is Blu. I've had problems for about 10 years with my arms and mostly been told I have varying degrees of tendonitis. About 5 years ago I had carpal tunnel surgery done on my left wrist. That helped my symptoms some but they have come back over the last year or so. In September I catered a friends wedding and never really recovered from that. I finally got referred to rheumatologist who suggested TOS after listening to my symptoms and noticing that my pulse disappears when I raise my left arm. I was scheduled to have a scalene block done on the 18th but came down with the Norwalk virus so now I am trying to wait patiently for my rescheduled appointment on January 6th. Thank you all for being here, I've learned alot about TOS in the last few weeks from reading this board.
