Hi everyone.
I've had TOS vascular/ neuro for the last 18 months. I'm at the point of not being able to take the pain anymore. I am scheduled with Dr. Sanders in 3weeks for evaluation & surgery. I was diagnosed last year by Dr. Brantigan.
I was in such severe pain I went to the Emergency Room Sat night. Of course the doctor didnt know much about TOS, but gave me an IV of dilaudid, toradol and phenergan for the pain. I had a migraine along with nerve pain on the whole right upper side of my body. Burning, cramping, shooting aching......you know what I mean.
. Right now my Neurologist is keeping me on dilaudid, phenergan, soma & fioricet.
Any advice from Sander's patients would be appreciated. I am flying to Denver along with my hubby & mother. Thanks!! ihtos
