I have great glee in taking in my results now. I just put them in front of the Dr and sit back and wait for their response (workers comp Dr's love this). No more im crazy or "I find it hard to believe what your telling me" comments. Its a lot better visiting these so called specialists with my results! I didnt find your post offensive at all. If you dont want to reply, dont. Every little bit of info I can find out about TOS and people living with TOS the better for me.

Hope everyone is having low pain day!

Lol............I think most of us have gotten the "it's all in your head" treatment at some point during our quests for a dx and tx

Hi will i am not sure when i got TOS i was first diagnosed with Bilateral Carpel Tunnel in Sept 2004 then i had surgery done on both sides went back to work in May 2005. In the first week back i had the same symptoms i got off the ship the first week of July it wasn't till the end of August 05 that i was diagnosed with TOS. Had surgery done on my right side the end of August 07 and it did not work so i still have bilateral TOS.
