Dear Friends,

I haven't actually logged in in awhile ,but I read the posts often and cannot begin to thank each of you who take the time to post and share your thoughts and advice. You all are a godsend!!! I was doing so much better for awhile under the care of a wonderful physical therapist who went out on
an early maternity leave and has not returned. Since her departure my pain and swelling and everything else has gotten bad again! I am going to try massage and I was hoping someone could let me know of any certain type of massage that has worked or NOT worked? Also, because I have swelling again above my collar bone, at the base of my neck, my family doc has admitted that this is totally out of her scope now and would like to send me to Philly ,to Penn or Jefferson .... one of the major hospitals..... I've seen a neuro, an orthopedic, should I see a vascular doc for the official visit? The REAL diagnosis???? Thoughts? Advice??? I am just amazed and humbled by how kind and wonderful everyone on this site is and I am truly grateful for all of your help and support!!! In our small state of Delaware I can't find many who have heard of or experienced anything but maybe vascular TOS. God Bless and hang in there all!!!! Beth in DE
