MRI Results
 
Had an MRI 2 weeks ago, I finally get the results tomorrow. I am hopeful they show something, to this point I have had some test point to TOS. I am ready to find out foe sure and move on.

Well the MRI showed two herniated disk. Don't know wether to be happy or not. If it is herniated disk it has a better outlook than TOS. I am afraid of a mis-diagnosis, but I talked with my doctor speciffically about TOS and she said she is pretty sure that isn't it. Anyone ever have a diagnosis like this turn out to be TOS?

A few have had C spine /disk problems along with TOS.
What level was your disk herniations at? C 4 /C 5/ C 6 or C 7?

What kind of treatment did the dr suggest?

If some gentle , basic PT is rx'd that should be OK either way as long as you tell them if anything begins hurting worse.
And some easy basic posture work shouldn't hurt and may help.

in our useful sticky we have some posts with illustrations of the nerve routes from the c spine- you can see if your disk injury matches up with any hand/arm pain you might be having.
