Is it possible to have both Thoracic Oulet Syndrome & Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy? |
I have been in pain off and on for about 10 years, & most recently, everyday since 10/10/06. I came upon my medical records dtd 8/99 and a neuro dr said that I had both.This dr informed my internest, but not me. I was told I had Raynaud's & Fibromyalgia,Carpel Tunnel. I was seen recently by a Neuro doc in So Ca and he said RSD, not TOS. I'm aware there are different types of TOS. My symptoms are on my left side upper torso.Numbing,tingling,chest tightnesss(pain),muscle weakness,headache,neckache,face is tingling & numb,pressure behind left side of face,shoulder front&back discomfort,lef side reacts to all temp changes cold &hot.I can't sleep on my right side(left side hurts),left hand changes color to red ith the cold and heat as does my face does the same sensing temp change (hot & cold). I was told to take neuronton. I also have chronic asthma on top of it.The neuro doc in 99 said I had both & to get pt to help. Had pt for firbro & mde symptoms worse. Any input.Thanks, Marla What did the therapist do for your fibro?? I'm a PT would have gotten you into a water program esp with the RSD. You really have to be careful with the modalities. Ther Ex is the best treatment for the fibro. I think you'll do better on a site geared to these problems than on here. |
