Saw the TOS doc today
 
I finally made it to the specialist. He confirmed TOS, omg he hurt me sooo much. I can barely type this.

When he made me lift my arm and twisted it or something I felt like a million needles were in my fingers and my hand. He flared me up sooo badly.

Anyways as he was testing me my legs went numb too, he said I may have a generalized nerve issue and he will send me to a neurologist as well.

I'm freaking out again. What do you guys think about the leg issue?

I also forgot to add that he put me on 600 mg of Neurontin per day for nerve pain and 100 mg of Vit B6.

I think you shouldn't freak out. That's what I think. :)

Lol, I know. He asked me a bunch of questions ( he probably wanted to know if I have MS), so yes yes, I am lil scared.

As if TOS is not bad enough. I also chatted a little with James Stoxen and he said a nerve test is not necessary unless the dr is trying to get me to do surgery. Although he specifically said he does not want to do surgery. So why am I doing the nerve test?:cool:

don't freak out! All of this is just part of their clinical exams and getting to the bottom of what is causing the problem and FIXING it.
