Theresa,

My TOS developed while I was working as an attorney. It was a very sedentary job but I was only working 3 days a week, so my story is kind of atypical. My symptoms began gradually. I have all the usual symptoms above the naval plus chronic headaches and frequent migraines (about 10 a month lately).

I had surgery with James Avery in SF almost 8 years ago. I developed scar tissue on my Brachial Plexus following surgery (shown on an MRI I had 8 months after surgery). Now I'm a chronic pain patient using Hydromorphone daily which helps some but not enough.

I'm glad you found us.

Take care,
Kelly
