I have a prescription for an x-ray so I will schedule that tomorrow to rule out any fractured ribs. I go back to the chiro on Friday and back to Ando on Monday.The amazing thing is that right now my TOS symptoms are gone. Wouldnt that be amazing if it lasted??. I am just happy that I had appts previously scheduled with the chiro and Dr. Aufiero and Dr Ando fit me in on the same day!
Parbie, I e-mailed my friend but havent heard back from her yet, but hopefully the pt you found is helpng you! If I get any info I will send it to you. Also, I was interested in scalenctomy only but through PT I have realized the problems are mor my ribs, but not just the first Rib, it seems like my lower ribs press into my pec minor and teres muscles. How is your pec minor doing since the tenomoty?

Hope you are still feeling that relief from the injections! The pt I found is def much better than the previous I will post about my progress with her on my thread. Only issue is I am getting more symptomatic on my left side and am really trying to avoid left side surgery but regardless I am waiting a while before I make that decision. My pec minor is still tight and painful but I think my left is tighter so I guess that's a good sign? I was having sharp pains and a squeezing feeling as well on my right side but that stopped when I stopped doing a pec minor stretch that my previous therapist in TO told me to do. Now some ice, self massage with a soft ball, and lipoderm gel are helping a bit with the pain. In my case, I guess it's still too early to tell how much the tenetomy helped.
