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.

[Also has one had a doctor state that any shoulder pain, pain of the Trapezius and Scalene muscles was related to TOS?]

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

I searched for Veteran, but not military. I will do more searches in the forums. Thanks
