I hope the pain clinic helps you too. Sounds like you need to see another Vascular surgeon! Did you get your testing/imaging done yet? |

ugh no and here's the thing
he's doing the same test i had before..where they just measure the pulse in my fingers he's very know it all ish and actually said maybe i have carpal tunnel syndrome!! vasc. surgeons are the worst. im going to bring up my knuckles again but im not sure it's from the tos. it seems like for me to have vascular issues i would have more issues lifting my arms. yesterday i held my arm up over my for 2 minutes and just got tingling but no color changes. ive read people with tos..their hands turn white. i totally understand what youre going thru, i was never an athlete but i had multiple stretch injuries to my brachial plexus (never went to a doc of course, no health ins) which set this whole thing in motion.
