Hello everyone, I left a job I had been at for 10 years. It meant more money,and I was promoted to assistant manager. It was a VERY BUSY shop. No time for lunch, Saturdays were hell, 9 hours of doing hair. Standing with my arms raised, bent over a chair and shampoo sink, and all that repetitive hand manipulation. A typical Saturday I would do up to 35 clients. Lots of money for hairdressing, but where did it get me? I wish things were different now, but I can't change it.

Bumping UP

bump up for good info

This is a good poll.... can'r believe I never saw it before

Think mine was related to a fall down the stairs, this perhaps unstabalised the thoracic outlet area and then my office job finally pushed me over the edge when i developed severe shoulder blade/hand pain 6 months later.

This is my speculation as dr's cant seem to comment on whether the accident could have anything to do with it (or even if i have TOS!)

That was exactly the work I was doing!!!!

I had never seen this post either. I have venous Tos, for what reason? We really just dont know... Spontaneously happened, probably due to being overly muscular in the upper chest area and the sports that I do.

I spent virtually all day at a desk, either reading files (looking down for long periods of time). Typing on and off all day and answering the phone (did have a headset).

Think it just took its toll on me after falling down the stairs!

Bumping up for anyone wanting to do the poll.

I answered "accident or some other means" and "cervical or other anatomical anomaly" because both relate to both sides. A accident or fall triggered each side due to a different anatomical bony anomaly. Left is a cervical rib, right was a large bone growth on the 1st rib.
