Is there any Veterans with service connected TOS out there? I currently am service connected at 60% with TOS and I requested a review of my service connection since it is affecting me every hour of every day, and the VA denied my increase claim.
I am hoping to find someone that has gotten the VA to grant 100% disability for TOS. Also has one had a doctor state that any shoulder pain, pain of the Trapezius and Scalene muscles was related to TOS? I might have to add them to the TOS VA claim separate. If you look at my prior posts, you will see my TOS history. It is gotten so bad that I am very limited on what I can do. Even going to a high school basketball game, I have to watch where I sit and how I move. Any help or guidance will be appreciated. |

I really think it can be also, unless there is another clear cause that is totally unrelated to TOS. Like obvious things that would show on MRI - C spine vertebra/nerve/disk issues, tears or dislocations etc. Especially if NTOS - the nerves send signals to the muscles , the muscles spasm & impinge the nerves more and can impinge on blood vessels too.... a nasty circle of symptoms.. Long ago there was someone in the military - maybe search the TOS forum for military ? I'll see if I can find some posts too. I found one w/ quick search - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post984310-3.html
