Default Double a crush Syndrome

So I had TOS surgery on 2/26/15, but as I heal, I have notice pain in the elbow and wrist on the same side. I never had pain in those regions before. Today was my 4 month checkup and the Dr wants to do some testing (my 3rd EMG) cause he says I am showing signs of "double crush".

Has anyone else been through this? Is this another surgery?

Thanks,
Kristine

It depends on what the EMG tests results are..

But if it shows a definite compression, then most likely a surgery might be needed - if no PT helps..

In the past some had the Ulnar surgery , then still had pain, and after going to a TOS dr - find out they had TOS and not ulnar /cubital tunnel syndrome...

It can happen the other way around, or you could have double crush, or even triple crush if Carpal tunnel is suspected too..

If you haven’t been checked for trigger points , those can refer pain to other places in the body.. like the elbow sx.
