My WC Dr. just called & told me my EMG was negative. I don't see how that is possible since my pinkie & ring finger are numbish & shake constantly. Then again, the technician who did the EMG was very snotty about it being a work injury - apparently she thought TOS was entirely congenital.  No idea where I should go from here. The p/t says I have TOS.
He's sending me back to work Monday. My husband thinks I should just quit. |
Hi Holles, I actually found out I had TOS after blood clots formed in my chest and arm turned blue and swollen. The Vascular surgeon I met at the hospital though, confirmed his suspicions of TOS on the CT scan. He could see the area in the scalene triangle was too small. If you have not had CT scan may be worth the shot, since no tests will actually show compression. I know its not a common test and take a TOS savvy dr to see. Not really sure. So sorry for your pain and frustration! Lauren
