Hey Gomicho,
Sorry to hear of your symptoms and the difficulties you've had obtaining a diagnosis and treatment. It's interesting that you only experience symptoms in your arms and not your legs. Have you had a lumbar puncture? Has anyone considered immunoglobulins as a possible treatment? Best wishes, Atty. |

gomicho, welcome!
I'm stumped too. I was going to say that anything you might be taking, like the melatonin you mentioned, might be causing your problem but you've discussed why you don't think that it is. This may seem ridiculously obvious at this point but have you thought about what you typically do during a day? Is there an activity where you use your arms or upper back? I had similar symptoms when I used to knit, for instance. I wasn't knitting intensively either--just a little each day. Sorry I can't come up with any better answers for you.

Hey Gomicho,
Something you may wish to explore is a mitochondrial disorder of some kind. The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome blog/website Health Rising is an excellent resource with respect to this. Something else you may consider is Mestinon a drug for Myasthenia Gravis. Using it off label may be appropriate for you, certainly worth exploring. mestinon for pn?

And is it only some muscles? And do they ache, hurt, get tired simultaneously? Best wishes, Atty |

You might explore our TOS forum and the sticky threads above it..
TOS can be a tricky one to get a clear dx. Drs like clear cut tests or maging for proof, but some TOS can be soft tissue based. Did any PT or DC try - Top rib mobilisation Manual trigger point release Ultra sound Low level laser IFc stim How is your upper body alignment? Head forward, shoulders hunched or rolled forward? Are shoulders, hips., Knees level across? I hope pt and dc checked those. But just checking for sure . If not.. Seek better ones . Many in the past had trouble being treated and diagnosed with TOS until they had increasing pain and symptoms that required rx meds or surgery.. I would call it pre TOS, a point where it can be turned around with expert treatment and self education , floow thru with self awareness. It took me yrs but could have been less if not for work comp delays. Even a long ago whiplash or shoulder, neck minor injury can cause issues as we age..

Those pain medications do not help me I can barely sit for 15 minutes before the pain hurts so bad, I have trouble sleeping and my arms hurt like crazy. My advice would be to go see a back doctor, to rule out any back or neck problems and make sure you always get a 2nd or more opinions, when one doctor says we can't find anything, another doctor might see something others did not see and say right there is your problem. |
