Confused Can I bug you all for some help!



My name is Jacquelina... I have been unofficial diagnosed with TOS.... My doctor seems not to believe in it and now is very hesitant to call it that... I had a MRI which showed constriction on the left side but not on the right... However my pain is much more sever on the right... He said from an vascular perspective i have TOS on the left but not the right... Is it possible to have nerve TOS of the right and vascular on the left? My symptoms on the right are:


The severity includes:
-Pain radiating down the neck into the shoulder and elbow then fingers
-Weakness
-No feeling in my pinky, ring, and middle finger
-When i do have feeling its intense burning and zapping feelings
-muscle spasms
-tightness
-Hand swelling
-Painful jaw?
-and JUST PAIN

I am not sure where it all started but i think it was in volleyball i was diagnosed with tennis elbow and carpal tunnel which always has caused me pain especially when i was writing... then a year or so later i started having muscle spasms really sever and had alot of upper back and neck pain... They always said it was stress...

Then it started turning in to a popping thing... I would be driving look behind my shoulder and their would be a pop... and running pain down my shoulder and fingers... which would put me out of work for a week if not longer.. because the pain was so bad...

Now here i am today... I have been on muscle relaxants and pain killers off and on for the last year and now lyrica for the last month... Not getting much relief...

I went to a pain clinic... They did some shots in to the muscle to see if it made it better... Well they were relaxed for all of 24 hours and then went back to normal... However that did not stop the pain in the shoulder and fingers..

It must be nerve pain they tell me.. .Even though that’s what i knew all along... Some doctors just don’t listen...

I am sorry to ramble on... What do you all thinking? Dose anybody have nerve TOS....?

Again sorry for carrying on...

Hope you all are doing well

Jacquelina
