Default new here

Well i have TOS in both shoulders. My TOS was caused by large pendulous breasts. I had a reduction mammaplasty in July of this year to try and relieve some of the symptoms. It helped alot. But symptoms are still there, just not as bad. It seems some symptoms are better but some are worse. I have had TOS for a few years. I always new something was wrong, just didn't know what. My collar bones (both) are deformed. They are pulled down From the weight of my bra straps. I have dents and scars on my shoulders from my bra straps. My neck is curved weird. So the orthapedic surgeon told me. He says from the back view, it curves to the right? He was the one who told me i had TOS. My left shoulder seems to hurt alot, along with my arm and the last 3 fingers and part of my hand. The pain is worse in my left side. I also get the burning sensation in my left side. My right side hasn't done the burning thing since the surgery. My left arm is extremely weak. Now my right side has the pain in the last 3 digits of the fingers, part of the hand and a spot right in the middle of my forearm. Those same places also feel like someone dips them in ice water. My right arm is always cold and icy feeling. When i go and pick something 15lbs or heavier up from head height my arms stop working. IT is the only way i know how to describe it. One minute i am holding the object, the next it is on the floor and i cant move my arms. They eventually start working again it takes a minute or to. I avoid picking up anything that triggers that nowa days. I guess i will quit jabbering. But that is part of my story.
