My TOS :
I was injured in a car accident close to 3 years ago. The car had rolled onto the passenger side and my right arm took the brunt of the blow as the car rolled. Immediately afterwards, I started having TOS symptoms that consisted of pain in the shoulder, elbow and ring and pinky fingers. I literally could not grip a pencil and had trouble writing for over 6 months. My family doctor gave me naxopren and told me that I was "crazy" and to just take the medication. Any anti-inflammatory did nothing for the pain. I talked my family doctor into getting me an MRI, and the results came out normal, which proved my "craziness" further. The pain since then has been intermittent, and I've adjusted my posture and learned how to use a computer mouse with my left hand. Every once in a while, the pain is so bad that I can't sleep at night. I am now having TMJ pain on my right side, chest pain, and neck pain. I will be moving in a month and a half and will be looking for a specialist to help me treat this condition. I am so happy that I can put a name to the pain that I have been feeling.
None.
