lintrecek, I have not tried the ice. I will do so as soon as I am off the computer. My computer time is so limited due to the pain. I feel so worn out from pain. My neck, shoulder, forearm and wrist hurt/burn. I have been looking to see if it could also be carpal tunnel, CRPS, or something else from this nerve entrapment. I have this problem from an auto accident where I was rear-ended hard, which totaled my car. I had no idea this TOS syndrome could morph into such a long-term pain problem. At first, I was just so worried about the compressed artery and the loss of a pulse at the dopple test. But I had no idea the pain would come on like this and just persist day after day. I am so discouraged right now. Even the corpse position wears on me after a while. I want to sit and watch TV, or read a book. It is hard to be patient. So thank you for the ice recommendation. I will certainly give it a try very soon.
