I have had rotator cuff bursitis on and off on both sides ever since developing TOS symptoms. Mine has been easily treatable with AC joint cortisone injection.

When I moved my arm in any position other than hanging down the blood flow stopped. That was how I was diagnosed with TOS. I had had no feeling in my two fingers for three years and my hand was always cold. My arm ached after talking on the phone,etc.

Anyway, I am not 100%, but the blood flow is so much better! This is definitely due to the PT (twice weekly since May) and doing the edgelow protocol. I also am beginning to incorporate some of the denver protocol.

I can't thank you all enough! Going to MGH for full re-assessment in a few weeks.
Hi,
I have an appt w/Dr. Donahue and was wondering if you saw him and what he said? I know you are doing pt.
