[boytos]

List of all my ideas for long-term relief of TOS.

TOS is caused mainly by a fibrosed/transformed scalene muscle and a perineural fibrosis, and sometimes specific anomalies

I Reversing fibrosis

Pentoxifylline 800 + tocopherol 1000 for 6 months/2 years

(I have stopped early because little risks of infections/cancers in long-term oral form and the existence of an injectale form that may be more safe.)

Decorin therapy in scalene

(if available - a little complex to explain)


HBO therapy

(dr ellis said it improve TOS with a good number of sessions)


II Managing inflammation and so pain without side effects


MAST CELL stabilisater NORMAST (palmitoylethanolamide)

(i may try)


III Trying to get rid of muscle problems

PT - Anti gravity

(If you want relief, but it is long and symptoms returns if you use your arms for working.)


Trainning soulder muscle elevation with botox ?

If scalenes are not active (with the botox), strengtening can be a good idea for elevating collarbone and all that stuff, without involving scalenes)

IV Pain management with some side effect :

Perineural heparin every 15 days (you must not work), epo (1/3 of chance to be free of pain but side effects).

That all

idea of futur research : Heparin with an antioxidant/anti-tgfb1
