Well, usually I am really excited when my daughter has another month go by....today that isn't the case. Last month about a week after her 8 month anniversary, she started complaining about a pain in her shoulder. Her exact words were " I think I slept wrong and I have a kink in my shoulder"...words that I heard back in October of 2011...when all this started.

Shoulder problems after TOS surgery are usually just shoulder problems. I personally had problems with rotator cuff bursitis and tendinitis due to poor scapular positioning. The scapular stabilizing muscles need to be strengthened and sometimes shoulder mechanics need retraining, a common problem with TOS sufferers (I used Stott Pilates for retraining and my shoulders are doing great now). A tight pec minor can cause the shoulder problems as well as the symptoms in the elbow. Unless she is having parasthesias/radiculopathy from the armpit down into the fingers, I wouldn't immediately suspect scar tissue.

Went to shoulder specialist yesterday. He said it wasn't her shoulder and it wasn't a failed surgery. He said the nerves in her neck were inflamed causing the pain in her shoulder and the numbness/pain in her elbow. She is taking steriods and a month of p/t. Hoping that will clear this up..... will keep you all updated.

Hi everybody!
It's been awhile since I've been on the forum but I wanted to give an update. I'm a little over one year post-op and I'm still really glad I had surgery. I'm not completely off pain meds at this point, but I'm down to Lyrica and Flexeril once daily! I have had a few minor pain flare-ups, but nothing like I experienced prior to surgery. Usually an extra dose of meds and a couple days taking it easy take care of it. I don't have as much range of motion in the right arm as in the left, but I can do the things I need to do (like work) and want to do (like ride my horse). I also gained quite a bit of weight in the last year and I'm having some trouble losing it, but overall, I consider myself very fortunate. If this is as good as it gets, I'll take it. ![]() |

Cltbaseball, TOSmom, Losing Hope:
How great to hear from all of you. I am also experiencing trouble again after doing better for a few months. I am afraid this is a lifelong battle. Cltbaseball, please let us know what Dr. Pearl says. |
