Hello,

My name is Teresa and I wanted to introduce myself to the group.

I have been recently diagnosed with Bi-lateral TOS.

I am here to try and learn more about this syndrome and what more I can do to try and manage my pain and get back some quality of life.

My story is probably similar to yours it includes but is not limited to daily pain, Job loss, depression, and major frustration trying to figure out what is wrong with me.

I take daily pain meds, muscle relaxors, and anti-inflamatory's.
I have done multiple tours of duty to Physical Therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage. I also wear a Spinal Q brace from 2-3 hours a day. All have some benefits, however they are fleeting and the pain returns when I try to get back to a more active lifestyle.

I am now in limbo waiting on a bi-lateral MRI of the brachel plexus (sp) as I am being told I cannot move forward with any shots until they have the images.

I would really love to here back from any of you as to what has worked for you and how you are managing your pain.
