Confused Tos pain

Hi everyone,
My name is Kathy. I have TOS/and am diabetic. Inoperable Drs. say. I'm in severe pain daily. Neurotic TOS. I have not worked since Sept. 2014. In and out of the hospital 5 times since October 2014. Can't hold a pen any longer or use a keyboard! Just wanted to say hi at this time. I filed for disability a few wks ago. Waiting to hear if I'm a candidate. So; HI!

Hi Kathy, I have read that diabetics have a higher rate of TOS. I am so sorry that you find yourself with this condition. I understand the pain. The never ending monster chewing you up. I have one too.
I don't know that I have any advice that would help...all I can say is I understand. Sucks for both of us huh?

Hi, Kathy. You are from Maryland?? Have you seen Dr. Donahue at Boston MGH? He took my case after several other surgeons turned me away.
