Hi I'm Galen,
I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I'm 24 and male which seems a bit out of the ordinary for TOS. As a result, I can't get any sort of real diagnosis for my problem. Oddly enough, I was in really good shape when this all began about a year ago. I've gone from my primary care physician to neurologist to an orthopedist to PT to recently being told to go to a rheumatologist.

My problems started with poor posture at work/slouching. I started developing numbness in my pinky and ring fingers due to ulnar nerve compression from resting my elbows on the desk. As soon as I FIXED my desk ergonomics all hell broke loose. Long story short, my scalene muscles are now like iron and when I wake up in the morning if feels like I just did a back workout at the gym the day before. My biggest symptom is that my fingertips now have decreased blood flow. They get really wrinkly in water and cold. I have to be careful with what physical activity I do.

Hopefully I'm able to get some relief along with everyone else on here. Cheers!
