Hello I am new to this forum but it looks like a great community. I have a question for the group. Have any of you with TOS experienced numbess in your feet?
*About 4 years ago I started to have slight numbness in my left hand (I'm right handed). I was living overseas so I did not have access to a good doctor. * 2 years ago I moved to the Bay area and I went to see a doctor. At that time I was having constant numbness in my left hand. * I work for a large corporation so our work stations are set up very well. We even have work station evaluations and software on our computers to make us take breaks. * My doctor sent me to a neurologist. The neorologist conducted nerve tests and rulled out carpul tunnel. She thought it was nerve entrapment on my elblow so she sent me to a surgon. * The surgon performed an ulnar nerve release. After recoving I was very disappointed to have the same numbness continue. * About a year ago I started having numbess in both hands. * Neorolgist had an MRI done of my neck and found slight disk degeneration. She sent me to PT. * My PT informed me she thought I had TOS which I had never heard of before. * PT recommended I see Peter Edglow a PT who specializes in TOS. * I've been doing PT with Peter for 5 weeks with some slight imprvovement. I notice significant improvement if I maintain a chin in, head back posture. * In the last 2 weeks my right foot has started to develop almost continuous numbness. My question is, does anyone else with TOS have foot numbess? I have not seen any other connections in doing research. I'm starting to wonder if I have some other spinal issues that are causing the problems. My symptoms never include pain only numbess. Now I have been transferred to an international location. My only help is self literature and my self PT that Peter Edglow taught me. Thanks |
