@darren
This comment is not TOS exactly driven, but I notice ALOT of razor burn/rash on this photo. Staph is usually the organism in shaving reactions, so you may have enlarged lymph nodes as a result. I'd get that rash taken care of, before it gets any worse. There are RX shaving creams with benzoyl peroxide which help some. Quote:

http://www.pressurepointer.com/SCM_trigger_points.htm My left SCM has been so tight in the past that it felt like a steel cable. With it came circulation problems; primarily dizziness. Upon getting it to relax, the circulation problems dissipated. My chiro and PT have both done myofascial release/stretching which was helpful. I also have to monitor myself for muscle tension and release it. I also have reduced flow in my left external jugular vein. (My left is my symptomatic side.) No one has explained that one to me and I find it disturbing. I have the hand discoloration thing too, although I have it all the time. My symptoms do get worse with my arm down, so when I walk or stand, I always have my hand in my pocket or propped on something. I also have some edema above my collar bones, but much more on my symptomatic side. I know that at least some of my problems come from a tight pec minor. I think I also have oversized upper traps in relation to neighboring muscles which may leave less room for the subclavian artery. Btw the book "It's not carpal tunnel syndrome" states that one of the signs of TOS is that the collar bone is not visibly well defined due to the pec and shoulder muscles being tight. Looks like you have that. HTH. |

I know that my pec minor is problematic on my operated side because when I attempt to draw my neck inwards..... a physio exercise recommended to correct posture/ neck alignment, I experience a strong pull in the region above my breast/side of armpit region. I had mentioned this to consultants and surgeon post op but it was not taken on board??????? Pride on their side maybe....????????? don't won't to be told what is troublesome by the patient? whatever!!!! One thing that is clearly evident on myself is that my collarbones seem in general to look very thick compared to the average female of my body frame, I am not over large.. an English size 10-12 probably US 2-3????? But my collarbones look thick/strong. Has any other females small-medium frame with TOS noticed this? |
