First of all, thank you for your feedback. This said, I hope sincerely that you will soon get improvement and cure by doing Kjetil's program. To answer your question, i went in a shrug's regimen since Dontbeamelvin wrote on this thread that he underwent improvement by doing them on consistent basis and also i have watched Kjetil Larsen videos on youtube that advocate traps and scalenes strenghtening. Moreover, if i well understood your sayings, you are to do 1 set of shrug 2 times per week and also 1 set of scalene's Kjetil's exercise 2 times per week ? Is it what Kjetil Told you ? If i am right, i was maybe doing way too much since during this 10-12 days, i daily did 3 sets of 8 reps of "monkey shrugs" (without any weights by the way). For "monkey shrugs", you could find some vids on youtube that show this exercise (i think it is basically the same exercise your are doing for your upper traps). Thank you again in advance for your thoughts and God bless you in your struggle against TOS. |

Yes if you overdo it you will really increase your pain. You should only have a slight increase if you do the exercises correctly. The biggest thing that has helped me so far is raising the shoulders straight up about 1/2 inch. This has made a dramatic improvement after a couple of weeks.

I'm really happy for your continuous recovery. This said, i have a few question for you that are the following ? 1) Before things got better for you, did you have pain/disconfort in your ulnar nerve, from shoulder to little finger (that is now my case) ? 2) If it was the pain, how long did it it take to relief these ulnar symptoms by constantly raising your shoulder blade (in other words shrugging) ? 3) Also, have you had "first rib mobilization" ? I ask you because a chiro show me a self rib mobilization's exercise and I have the feeling it has increased my discomfort in this ulnar zone.. Thank you again for your thoughts. God bless you. |

I will add, there is no one thing that works for everyone..it takes some experimenting to find what works for you..
But if something you try increases your pain/discomfort for more than a few days, you either pushed too much or it isn't the thing for you.. Baby steps to adding any activity is the best way to move forward.. pushing too hard will set you back.. Many with TOS have the delayed pain, a day or so after the activity.. (even a dr visit or PT) so that is something to be aware of also..

I have overdone my work outs several times since I had my Skype appointment with Kjetil. It is really easy to overdo because you want to get better fast! However the body just does not work like that. Like I always say, it likely took you years/months to get here. It can take years/months to get you out. The key is knowing how to get out so you have a clear path to recovery. Good luck |

You have to approach all parts, spasms and or trigger points in the muscles as well as any stuck or raised top rib..
Just focusing on 1 part will not do much in the long term.. Other areas to look at - pec minor lymph drainage overall body postures & uses.. past whiplash or old injuries sleeping postures- pillows/mattresses ergonomics site search can find those topics for more on them..and more in the sticky threads.. https://www.neurotalk.org/search.php

And so, if i well understood you, you didn't experimented instant relief of your arm pain with elevating/shrugging your shoulder blade ? How many days/weeks did it took roughly before your had relief of your arm's pain with this shoulder blade's constant elevation ? I thank you again for your thoughts. Best wishes for your recovery |
