Default Saw the TOS doc today

I finally made it to the specialist. He confirmed TOS, omg he hurt me sooo much. I can barely type this.

When he made me lift my arm and twisted it or something I felt like a million needles were in my fingers and my hand. He flared me up sooo badly.

Anyways as he was testing me my legs went numb too, he said I may have a generalized nerve issue and he will send me to a neurologist as well.

I'm freaking out again. What do you guys think about the leg issue?

I also forgot to add that he put me on 600 mg of Neurontin per day for nerve pain and 100 mg of Vit B6.

I think you shouldn't freak out. That's what I think.

Lol, I know. He asked me a bunch of questions ( he probably wanted to know if I have MS), so yes yes, I am lil scared.

As if TOS is not bad enough. I also chatted a little with James Stoxen and he said a nerve test is not necessary unless the dr is trying to get me to do surgery. Although he specifically said he does not want to do surgery. So why am I doing the nerve test?

don't freak out! All of this is just part of their clinical exams and getting to the bottom of what is causing the problem and FIXING it.
