thoracic outlet syndrome.
 

Hi, I am new to this site. I am being diagnosed as having vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. I say "being" because I still nee to have other tests done. I have had a sowllen, blue (off/of) right hand for almost two years and my workman's comp doctor was taking care of my shoulder and didn't do anything about my hand cause he said it was coming from my shoulder, dud...Well wanted to get info/advise on others with same problems and and also to ask how is this condition treated??

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
 

Hello All! I am new on this site. I was diagnosed with T.O.S. about 6 months
ago by my Osteopathic Dr. I am now at my wits end because my symptoms are getting worse with no treatment in sight. Any suggestions on where i should go from here? I live on Long Island in N.Y. I just wrapped up 6 wks of P.T. and think it made it worse. Don't know where to turn. My Dr. doesnt seem to know how to treat me??? Please somebody help me..

Nice to meet you!!
