As always, I am able to form these questions within 3 hours of my doctor visit. Why is that??

Thursday are they saying your TOS is not really TOS but a pinched nerve
OMG has to be a WC DOC most all of us TOSers have Cervical disc problems or an X-tra rib they are just spreading the BullSH>t around
I have no idea what the WC Doc will interpret this as My treating doctor did say that because the MRI was done so late in the game it would be impossible to say if this was a precursor to the injury just as much as it would be a secondary injury. So quite possibly it won't help or hurt my case.

In other news I went for a special TOS specific massage from a bodywork/ massage therapist. I will be going weekly!!! It wasn't relaxing it was more like having muscles manipulated, lymph drainage, and some triggerpoint work. I had a better range of motion in my neck afterwards I am willing to go thru some this new form of torture because I truly trust my massage therapist (he's a friend!) and because its more economic than PT now that I'm in WC limbo (not settled and not receiving ANYTHING while they decide if they're responsible for my permanent partial disability). Also it was very awesome to talk to a person who isn't my doctor and isn't a person that has RSIs using all the words I've never knew pre-injury. Like myofacia, lymph edema, and transverse process. I will update yall as we do more work together.

Hey everyone...

Mark, Jo, Victoria ,Dabbo, Shelley ,Thursday.. and everyone, else hope things are well with you all....
Thursday that massage sounds sooo good ! I may have to find someone around here

I am in so much depression right now it stinks... The left shoulder is doing o.k... as long as I keep up the exercises I'm o.k... The right foot is bothering me.. I had my inserts modified again for the 3rd time this week so my foot is killing me...and I have been sleeping and crying so much that my body just feels like a piece of rubber....

My BF of 7.5 years just up and left Halloween night ! Man I'll tell ya , when it rains, it pours....He is having major problems with his ex- wife and how she treats his kids ( 3) of them . The 14 yr. old boy is having the most trouble and him(BF) being an hour away decided he couldn't do it anymore and felt he needed to be closer for now.. but he took everything and finally told me yesterday that is was permanent ! I feel like my whole world just came crashing down on me !

I know it is for the best.. but man.. talk about being blindsided ! AND to top it all off my whole body feels like it has been hit by a truck ! It's amazing how much stress effects you ! I am sorry for venting but I feel so alone ! It sucks !

I know that I will get thru this but it just stinks from going to doing just about everything for him and now I don't have anyone to take care of !!!! We have talked a few times since.. but he is so wrapped up in his problems with the kids and getting things somewhat back to normal ( it will never be)that he doesn't call as much as I thought he would ! ( so much for "loving" me )... I'm sorry guys...

Thanks for letting me vent.. I know I have my friends here on the board just wish some of us on the East Coast could get together some time !

Hugs all around !

Thanks Victoria for the well wishes too !

I still can't believe that this has happened to me ! I thought he was my bnest friend and then he did this to me !!! I guess love just wasn't there enough !

I am trying to keep my mind on other things like making more jewlery .. I did see the Doctor last week and they have diagnosed me with Bipolar disorder... figures huh ?? I was put on a new med too.. Abilify and I have to say it has kept me cool as a cucumber even when he showed up last Thursday to get the rest of his stuff... he even noticed that I was very calm.. it really made him think !!

But thank You all for the well wishes.. I am getting over it.. I'm even thinking of going to Florida a little earlier this year too !!

Thanks everyone and I know that I am loved at least here !!!!

Oh Dolfinz ,
Somehow I missed seeing this til now..
I guess you can't hold it against him for going to be nearer to his kids... But he sure could have discussed things before just splitting the way he did.
Keeping busy and occupied is the best way to get thru these things.
Take care of you..
