I am sorry for leaving suddenly to all my friends here. I unfortunately have found what my injury is and have been ordered off the computer. I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in my neck and both shoulders. What it does is basically all my muscles in said area are pinching my nerves and veins/arteries. My case is severe enough that they are talking about removing both of my top ribs through surgery. As you can see it gives me reason to not break doctors orders til now. I am very sorry i have not responded earlier but I must leave all computer activities until further notice from my doctor. I will try and be on MSN messenger from time to time but if not at least now you know why. Well I must go before I flare everything up again. Adieu.

 

Sincerely Sylvirci

Found this on Medifocus:

Conservative treatment is usually the first-line approach for the management of patients with TOS. This usually includes physical therapy, postural training, muscle strengthening exercises, and heat treatments with ultrasound. Drugs may be used to control pain and muscle spasms. Most patients with TOS will improve with conservative treatment and only a small number of patients require surgery.
