As far as good PT, I can't really help you and the others have given you some good advice- especially about finding someone who knows what they're doing as far as TOS is concerned. I will tell you that I've been sent to PT twice (and both times it was BEFORE they figured out I had TOS- so maybe I would've had better experiences had they known....although somehow I doubt it ) and I came out of both experiences worse off than I was when I went in. The second time nearly killed me. My PCP ordered 8 visits but after 3 I couldn't go back. I came home in more pain than what I went in with and was having to soak in a hot tub and take Vicodin afterwards. To me, there was something wrong with that picture....I hope you can find someone to help you. |

Luckily for me my kids are still home to help me. As far as PT, I think I have given up. Dr. Togut says no exercise and I am going to listen to him. He says hot baths (we have a great hot tub out back) and careful with everything I do. Good excuse to get kids to help. I am afraid to use my right arm. Thanks again, Linda

If you are able to find an expert in myofascial massage... trained by someone like John Barnes... you should find some relief from your pain. I live in Delaware and have found someone very dedicated and knowledgeable who has been quite a help!!! I'm not cured.... but I have weeks without pain ,which is a miracle. Take good care of yourself. I hope you are having some pain free moments. God Bless. Beth
