My levator muscles and a little bit of my rhomboids just gave me an awful flare up.

The muscles aren't spasming. They feel like they're *alive* and swollen tender and needly. Then it spreads to.my scalenes and ribs creep up

What is this! Could this be caused from just a small part of my BP being compressed or is it inflammed?? The muscles or the nerves irritating the muscles. I have tight pecs but they don't light up like this

Any advice appreciated tia. I want to.go to a docvwith some specific ideas of how to treat this as I don't trust doctors.

The left side of my skull around my eye is spasming I thin
This has never happened ****

So both the rhomboids & levator are attached to the scapula, so that could be something to do with the winging...?
did you try anything new that might have set them off?

thanks

i was doing cable rows. this happened at work but it was REALLY bad so i think it was doing the rows improperly.

im sure my ribs are elevated now. i bet its scalenes and uppertrap

ugh is that feeling that my muscles are "alive"?

is that typical of tos??

[mspennyloafer]

is my levator muscle giving me tos or is my tos giving me levator problems

[Jomar]

How many or how long were you doing the cable rows??
with weights or tension too??

I didn't start doing that sort of stuff until my pain/sx were down to a 1-2 on the pain scale.. and the PTs started me slowly to see how I did with it.

I think after a while with TOS the fascia gets involved or maybe even before , but it all becomes an interweaved web, one thing affects the other and on and on...round and round...

You have a lot of extra things going on too, so I think taking it extra easy on your self is the key.




[that feeling that my muscles are "alive"]
Is it like a buzzing/inner vibration?? I had that in my forearms for a long time early on...very weird sensation...

Thanks Jo*mar,
its been awhile since I've been on, but would like to say that the pressurepoint link is so relevant for me at the moment. So, my triggerpoints!!!!
I had noticed AGAIN, started last week after lifting too heavy a load of shopping bags, I think????? Pain in my rhomboid, occipital neck/head area tightening, dizziness, tooth ache type pain in my jaw and my upper eye lid going into a spasm. It's definitely related to my shoulder region, I'm sure..... yet if you suggest this to a specialist, they look at you as if your nuts???? Are we all in the wrong profession???
Thanks for your pressurepointer links.
I'm 9 months post op and still living with TOS.........I guess its time to accept it.
Best wishes to all TOS folks.
