Default Im confused

I have been told I have Tos both the vascular and nerve tos.

I have noticed in the past few weeks that I have been favoring my right arm(the side where i have it), I tried pt and that made it worse. Well Last night I was driving home from taking the wife out, and i was holding the steering wheel with my right arm, and about a min later I started having the pain between my shoulder blades,right side of my neck and my arm was going numb.

Since I was diagnosed a few months ago, I have noticed that alot of the issues I have been complaing about for years are related to this, and I favor my right arm.

Is this a "in your head thing" or could it have gotten worse in the past few months.

I see the Dr at U of M on Wed, so hopefully he will ease my mind.

Thanks for listing

Rich

Rich,

Driving aggravates my condition more than just about anything else. Your pain sounds just like mine. PT also makes me worse. I'm not driving at all right now due to a major flareup. However, wearing an Intellishirt under my shirt (for posture correction/reminder) helped me a great deal with driving.
