Re: [Thoracic Outlet Syndrome] Neck Problems

I don't know a lot about pinched nerves but I think a pinched nerve might cause
some of the same symptoms as TOCS. In regard to TOCS the nerves are compressed
under the top ribs. If something is pressing on a nerve or pinching it; it
could have the same effect. You might have both...I don't know. You need to
get a definite TOCS verdict from an M.D. who specilizes in that. I am not much
into chiropractors personally, I think they can help take the pressure off with
manipulation but its only a temporary feel better; but then again so is PT. If
you do have TOCs, top rib removal is the best option. I dont know what state
you are in. The pinched nerve could be what is causing you the problems rather
than TOCS......yuck.
