Re: [Thoracic Outlet Syndrome] New Members

This is for Rose, I think what you are experienceing are TOCS symptoms.
I have had similar symptoms but not to that extent. Since I stopped
doing my job in 1996 and have to strictly limit any repetitive motion I
don't have that any more. Try to recall if you had this before your
surgery or not. I think it is prob the TOCs. My body is sore and
tender in certain areas which is a different type of pain from the
nerve pressure pain. I am so glad to see that you are all sharing your
info. Each of us has different experiences with TOCs but by sharing the
facts of our conditions and treatment with others someone might just
find a clue that will help them.
Thank you all for being part of the group.

Cathy
