Doctor does not want to put me on any pain meds. He is concerned on the addiction aspect of it. I myself would prefer not to but need something to relieve the pain. Took the viibryd about 2 hours ago and it seem to be helping to reduce the amount of pain that is caused by anxiety. I know that healing takes time and that I must be patient, but I just want to be semi-comfortable in the mean time. Doctor said we will try this and see how it goes. Says if it doesn't that he will do some more blood tests and also a scan of my arm and hand.

Thanks again to all on this board. You have been so comforting while going through diagnosis stage, surgery, and now recovery. Hoping that I can get back to a manageable normal. TOS will always be a large part of me and I know that I must take it easy to recover. Does anyone have any ideas of what could help my back in a cubical based environment.
