My TOS :
I was 15 when I was first diagonised with TOS and really had no clue what it was and was sent to phsical therapy and I only had issues in my wrists at that time my sophmore yr in high school. I was a band geek, played volley ball and swim for my high school team. I now am not able to do any of that. It is so hard having this condition in my teenage yrs cause no on belives that pain I am in, no one knows what has been taken away from me. I now have a 10 lb grip in both hands and tendontis and carpal tunnel in both wrists and cuptial tunnel in both elbows. I have been lucky enough that when I went off to school cause I am now in college that I have a great therapist there and gave me the number for hopkins I am now trying to get surgery and hopefully I will be semi functional again I don't even know what it feels like for me not to hurt and I am terrified that it will make me worse and it is great knowing that out there this website exists to be able to not feel like I am the onle one with this. Please feel free to e-mail cause I would love to talk to other people and not feel so alone with this awful problem.
None.
