Hello,

I had rotator cuff, labrum, frozen shoulder surgery in October of 2011. After the surgery, I woke with a numb hand. It was believed to be related to the pain pump, then I was told carpal tunnel and workman's comp said they were not treating my hand injury.

Seeing a physiologist and ortho, I was diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury. Although the constant tingling diminished in my hand, it still just doesn't feel right. My arm is tired feeling, I have tingling from my shoulder to hand in certain positions and EMG shows nerve damage and muscle atrophy. And the physiologist feels it is TOS. I had a vascular study yesterday and it showed issues on my left side although all symptoms are on the right side.

Not sure what happens from here, waiting to hear from doctor and what options there are for treatment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
