Laur3d, I still have pain in my neck and chest as well. I too was just recently approved for disability from my pension. I have not worked in a year and a half and it has been difficult to deal. I am glad to hear that you have some issues resolved because I know how that can cause stress

Thanks. Have you gotten any updates as to what could be causing it? My vascular surgeon keeps saying Musculoskeletal. I'm actually having the new Dr also complete papers for my long term disability- I think he may have more insight. My Vascular surgeon said a few weeks ago he didn't see why I still needed therapy. And I've had two rib resections in 3 months! I'm just concerned I won't get coverage for all the time I need, but my appt is before my paperwork is due. Thank God! I'll keep you posted what his diagnosis is too. Wouldn't that be great if we could help each other? |

I see my surgeon on Monday. I will let you know how it goes. The last couple of days I have had less neck pain, but shoulder still hurts and I am having trouble lifting it

Good luck- I'll be sure to check back in. Yes, for me it's very odd. It almost seems now like the right side is digressing. Pinching in shoulder, chest, some numbness in hand. I know my clavicle is pushing into my throat, so we'll see. Had therapy today so I am feeling pretty ok right now! She did some light mobilization and taped my shoulders back. It will help for a few days at least. Better than nothing!
