Hello,

First time here but I have a couple questions.I was Dx's with TOS last week and know nothing about it and was wondering if someone can please explain it to me.I have excrusiating pain in my right wrist,hand fingers swelling and now beginning to drop things.I also have alot of pain in the back of my head,neck just the right side of my body.
The Dr also asked if I've ever had a stroke before.Please any info would help.
I will introduce myself at another time because my hand is very painful

Thank you,
Mary

It did for me, I felt like I was having episodes of ADD & Alzheimer's for awhile as well as many of the vertebral artery symptoms.

I was feeling really dumb for awhile...
I was also taking Lipitor at the same time frame, and it can play a part in the brain fog & extra muscle pain. When I quit the Lipitor I began to feel more normal, but at the same time I was finally getting some good PT & good chiro care. So not sure what % was from TOS or the Lipitor.



Many other conditions can cause brain fog too - as well as medications
