Also dont want to hijack lindsay's thread, since you guys know so much more about this.
A quick question - is it possible to get shoulders/upper back spasms on the opossite side of where there is TOS? TOS on the left side, but right side is affected?
I read this:
http://surgerydept.wustl.edu/TOS_For_Patients.aspx
And in the NTOS section:
Many patients with neurogenic TOS describe substantial symptoms of pain and tension in the neck and/or upper back, and these symptoms are often perceived to be the most functionally disabling. These symptoms are considered to be caused by excessive stretch and muscle spasm in the neck, shoulder, and back (particularly the sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, rhomboid, and other peri-scapular muscles). This most likely occurs as a result of inadvertent alterations in posture and carry of the shoulder girdle that patients may subconsciously make, in order to minimize positions that worsen their symptoms.
This fits me to a T.
But I fell on my left side, symptoms are on both hands but left side more in hands, and yet it is my right shoulder/trap that seizes up. Any ideas?
