I have been experiencing pain in hand, arm, shoulder, and neck for over a year now. Local doctors don't seem to know what is going on an am now being referred to a pain management dr. I am extremely frustrated, so I thought if I listed some of my symptoms maybe you guys could give me your opinion as to whether I should try to see a TOS Specialist.
I have had shoulder and neck pain with migraines for as long as I can remember. However, a year ago I started getting numbness and pain in my hand. My physician found a ganglion cyst in my hand and thought that maybe that would help, it didn't. Then I began having extreme pain into my shoulder, it got to where I had limited range of motion. So the dr. referred me on to a PT. After 4 months of therapy 3x a week my range of motion was better but then the migraines and neck pain started to get worse. I had a migraine for almost 3 weeks straight. I also have scapualar winging that was diagnosed in March of 2012, but we don't know if that is a new condition or if I have had that awhile. I now have numbness off and on in my two little fingers and forearm on the right side. Constant ache in right shoulder, and neck. If I do any activities in the right arm, including cleaning, reaching overhead, etc. it doesn't necessarily hurt at the time but shortly I will start feeling really tight and painful and typically get a migraine within an hour. I have been taking Ibuprofen not stop for over a year and am worried of the affects that this could have. Pain levels are a 3 on a good day and a 8 to 9 on bad days. Typically have 2 to 3 bad days a week. Just wanted to get someone elses opinions as it feels like I am just getting the runaround with my dr. |
