i have vascular tos. i asked my doc about stroke risk, and was told there is no risk. i have pain in my shoulder, neck, elbow, arm, hand, leg, low back, basicaly my right side.sometime i wake up with half my face numb. temple and neck pain would make me think stress or headache...all of which tos can contribute to. a lot of helpful people try to give me ways to ease the pain. vascular pain is hard to ease the only think i have found that help is to avoid EVERYTHING that cause me pain.
and people without tos dont seem to understand that. i am scheduled for a surgical consult. im not sure if i will have the surgery or not, but if im already miserable, how much worse could it get right? lol good luck to you
