LOT'S of questions in my head but still not sure what to say........ I'm very confused.
I'm so stressed over this whole TOS issue that I've actually skipped 2 months period, I have to desperately tune into my body and mind and RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest I can't really imagine having another op, seeing how I feel after the first one  .
I had to scribe in my work the other day for about an hour, intermittent note taking................... resulted in,neck spasms, a tingling sensation in my cheek, sharp pain in my breast, deep shoulder pain- front and back, fatigued arm, burning in outer fingers and tender wrist, oh and not to forget twitching muscles down by my forearm and tricep ! 
And so I just say to myself...... POSITIVE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE!  |
If the surgery works, then we are trading a couple months of hardship to gain a lifetime of using our arms and living, hopefully, pain free. Every time I look at my motorcycle and think that if I don't have this fixed I may not be able to ride much longer, its a motivator to keep on the path. Stay strong and hope you get healed soon!
