Hi

Thanks for your response. i was assaulted at work 7 years ago. I was working on notice board and was hit from behind on right shoulder/shoulder blade. Since then I have had shoulder pain on and off which has been getting worse the past 3 years. however I was also having severe weakness in my arms which i put down to graves disease which i was diagnosed with a year after work incident. The past 3 years i have numerous neurological symptoms. The main ones that are bothering me are;
dizziness
spaced out feeling
blurred vision
eye pain
feel like I am drunk
severe arm weakness
dropping things
clumsiness
unable to do fine motor tasks e.g putting key in lock, doing up zips on clothes

A new doctor eventually picked up on cervical ribs due to loss of pulse on arm elevation. i have not started any physio yet due to conflicting opinions by doctor and consultant( consultant did not see any problem with pulse)

So kindof confused. I am wondering now if doppler results is saying that I have arterial thoracic outlet compression. I am also wondering about what could be causing dizziness and eye problems.

Thanks
Marcia
