Hi everyone been a long time reader of the forum but don't post much.

I've had steadily increasing TOS symptoms since a car crash in 2004, paid 4 grand ($7000) for bi lateral carpal and cubital releases which obviously did sod all. Had 2 MRI tests and nerve conduction studies, blood tests, physio therapy, ciro blah blah blah. All came back clear, doctor couldn't give a ****. I'm sure this is sounding quite familiar to a lot of you.

Anyway I'll stop dribbling on and get to the point

How does lying in bed with your head propped up on a pellow effect your tos??

I spend most of the day like this being unable to work or do anything interesting. Is it compounding the problem? Should I be sitting bolt upright in a chair? Lying like this my chin is almost touching my chest, a couple of inch's away. It's quite comfortable, but I'll sit properly in a chair and only get into bed when I sleep if it's going to bugger me up

I ask as lying here now I can feel my heads quit forward and my shoulders are slightly forward as the cushions push my sholderblades apart a little.

I try to figure out things that trigger or help this condition but the delay and changes in severity make it almost impossible. Hmm I'm in crippling pain what have I done in the last 5 days that could have done that then...

Anyway I'm babbling again, any input, advise, your own experiences would be most appreciated, thank you

p.s I read what you said on wiki-leaks and I'm sooo telling my dad on you
