After an accident I had 2 shoulder surgeries on the right side (capsule shrinking, subscapularis-reconstruction, long-biceps-tenodese,..) and later I developped TOS. I have arterial TOS (arteria subclavia is squeezed, angiography showed this very clearly and every 6 month I have a control to see if the artery is intact) and from the "inside"-scars from the shoulder surgeries the nervs are irritated also.
Therapies: actually osteopathie, alexander and rang dröl Meds: not constantly only if the pain is too strong, sometimes muscles relaxing meds |

Hi guys, it's me TamaraShadow!!! Somehow I couldn't get my old name back...
Right now my issues are: post surgery pain to right side, TOS; considering whether to proceed to surgery on the left before symptoms become very bad as they did on the right; or wait and see; lung problem (adelectosis) being diagnosed and treated - have to go through private insurance as work comp is ignoring it; just got 10 or 12 visits of psych counseling - YAY! I need it. Severe fibromyalgia in whole body. RSD has retreated a lot, just a little on arms and back of calves occasionally. Missed you all SOOOOOO much. Still sleeping two or three hours here and there, which really messes up the day time. (I am doing this at 4 AM and need to take my pills for pain as it's sky high.) So bye, bye! PS Laura, saw you called today, I was sleeping most of afternoon / PM time. Will try to call back soon. |

Hi everyone It's good to see so many familiar names here.
Since we are doing introductions.... I'm Liz, with no official TOS diagnosis but a doctor who said "probable Left sided TOS". I never went to a specialist to get 'officially' diagnosed because it doesn't really matter anyway (since I could never and would never have surgery anyway). Based on symptoms, the doc who said 'probable TOS' says it is neurogenic TOS. So I'm just gentle with my arm to try not to make it any worse. I have Fibro, and connective tissue disease, and "possible MS" and a variety of other stuff for which I take a variety of meds. Nice to be able to see everyone again and reconnect ~Liz PS to Tamara --- the reason that you couldn't sign-in as TamaraShadow is because these are completely different forums with no affiliation to braintalk or John Lester, so there is no database that remembers anyones usernames from the original BrainTalk. This forum was set up by a man named DocJohn who runs the website and forums at PsychCentral and he set them up because he was concerned with BT being offline for so long with no updates, so he set up this BT2 for the BT members to be able to get back in touch while the original BT is offline/broken/gone. He named it BrainTalk2 so that people could easily find it. Some people want him to keep this place open even after the original BT is fixed (there is a poll about that in Forum Feedback along with lots of posts as to peoples reasons for wanting this place to remain open) and if it does remain open after BT is back online, DocJohn said he would then change the name to something different. You could use the name TamareShadow here, you just have to newly register it the same way you newly registered tshadow. |

Actually I did try to register Tamarashadow, but it said someone else already took it, and that it didn't register my email...so I had to choose another one. I kind of like my new one, though!

1999 - Bilateral repetitive strain = fingers, hands, forearms
2001 - R- neck/shoulder strain - due to work 2002/2003 - another neck/shoulder strain R- {slight tear??} - due to work Barely recovered from that and {MCO} Dr. returned me to full work {again??} 2003 - all of the above returned and increased in symptoms over time Eventually spred to include some short term ulnar nerve pain and L shoulder pain, with some hypersensitivity remaining in elbows and forearms for over a year. 03/04 started seeing links and info about TOS and then found BT1. Most of my symptoms are mild now, as long as I pay attention to overuse and posture issues. I think I do have a chronic C/T spine strain along with TOS & RSI If I lift or carry something heavy with arms out I get a very weird pulling pain right in the T spine/C spine junction. Even reaching out over the couch to slide the window shut is a pain. Last edited by Jomar; 10-06-2006 at 05:49 PM. Reason: added and clarified |
