Default TOS and sitting up in bed???

Hi, I had a car crash 5 years ago and for the last 3 years have had bad tos symptoms. They misdiagnosed me and did a bi lateral carpal and cubital tunnel release. Obviously this didn't help other than the relief of having a much lighter wallet and not being able to work.

My question for any fellow suffers or anyone with a good understanding of the condition is this.

Because of my condition, I sit up in bed most of the day, lying down with my head and shoulders propped up on a few pillows against the wall watching my tv and using the computer at the end of my bed. That is my legs, bum, lower back and most of my upper back are flat on the bed, the rest is propped up so i can see the tv.

Is this bad for my TOS?

I wonder as my condition seems to get no better, I've had 2 mri's, seen 2 physios, 2 specialist consultants, 2 chiropractors, had multiple blood tests, nerve conduction studies, been given stretch's to do, stopped smoking , stopped drinking milk, lost weight, walked till my legs felt like dropping off.

Nothing seems to make a lot of difference. I appreciate I'll probably never be a mechanic again or ride my motorbike, but if i could just draw, play my guitar or play some computer games every once in a while I'd be overjoyed.

Any idea's or suggestions appreciated. thanks
