I'm working full time. It's a huge struggle. I have a desk job, in something similar to IT. Right side ntos. I just had a rib removed on the 4th.

Hi Stephrm32,

How are you doing after rib removal surgery? Do you work on computer all day caused you ntos or something else ?

Regards
Ramdas

It's been over 5 years since my hands went numb and I can't click on a mouse

I'm working but only bc I know my boss. I work from home a lot and can barely sit at a desk. But I have a bad combo of ehlers danlos and n tos. If I only had ntos I would've cured myself by now. My body is very unstable.

Hi mspenyloafer,

Tnks. Do you have elbow issues due to ntos?
I have ulnar nerve issues at both elbows and it increases with mouse usage. I am at home from last 5 months and afraid to go to office.

my tos is from ehlers danlos syndrome so it's different. my ulnar nerve doesn't bother that much, pinky and ring finger less numb whereas my entire median nerve distribution is chronically irritated (straight thru my elbow it burns)

my first rib and neck vertebrae sublux constantly and make everything pinched/burny

i've noticed most everyone here complains mostly about ulnar

My left arm is ulnar, but my right is median and axillary. Good times.
