i vote for mac.

just my 2 cents. nothing terribly constructive to add.

seriously tho Mac..... take it easy, and I hope that you feel better soon.

I am very sorry that it has been so long since my last post. But since my last post I have had yet another MRI on my neck and a neurosurgean has told me that he sees nothing wrong with my neck and that he sees nothing that should be contributing to my problems and symtoms that I am experiences. I went to this doctor because my doctor wanted to double check my neck area and if there was anything causing this problem. Well there was nothing and now November 1st I am going back to Iowa City to see Dr. Sharp and hopefully he will be able to tell me something because I really just starting to feel like no one knows what is wrong with me. Go figure that seems to be a trend, no one ever knows. I am hoping that at some point I will be able to be active again because as of right now I am not being premitted to do anything.

Mac, are either of these Dr's vascular specialists? sounds like there may be a vein/artery that gets 'kinked'? or a clot?

good luck to you - hope someone discovers what this is!

A " normal " MRI just proves that the problem is NOT caused the C spine or bones. Plus some times MRIs are not looked at fully?
a rushed tech or radiologist just looking for a simple problem...

Drs need to look deeper - nerves, fascia, vascular, scar tissue regrowth??
since you had a surgery - the scar tissue might be an issue?

As always posture is a big thing esp if you got TOS from repetitive work, but even pain and discomfort will cause us to slouch or "try" to protect the painful areas.
So that is a life long issue- IMO I know for me it is.

Hi Mic,

Did you have dye with your mri and did the do c spine and t spine with brachial plexus because it is difficult to see the structures without the dye in your brachial plexus.....just a thought......

take care,
Victoria
