@ladyspinedoc: Replying to @TheActivityShift Case Study 237 - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Your thoracic outlet is a narrow passage between the collarbone and first rib. Nerves and blood vessels squeeze through it every second of your life. When that space narrows (from posture, trauma, an extra rib, or repetitive overhead movement) you get pain, numbness, weakness, or circulation changes in the arm and hand. This case walks through diagnosis, imaging, and when surgery is actually indicated. #CaseStudy237 #ThoracicOutletSyndrome #Neurosurgery #SundayCaseStudy #ladyspinedoc

My girlfriend Grace died after complications from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last year. I’m not saying this to scare you, but please do as much research as you can and have a very thorough conversation with your surgeon about the risks and whether surgery is truly the best option for you. I wish you nothing but the best and a safe outcome.

What specialist is best to consult for this condition if one’s orthopedic spine surgeon is not comfortable in diagnosing ? Another orthopedic sub specialist? Neurologist? Vascular? Thoracic surgeon?

I had an MRI and was told no TOS. But I swear it’s gotta be. Both of my arms go numb when doing my hair or anything overhead. What can I do for a more thorough examination?

I was just diagnosed this week and it’s been miserable dealing with the symptoms. Several doctors have said anxiety and that is so beyond annoying. Testing this week was positive and dr said severe and impressive. I’m praying treatment works

Just diagnosed this week after no answers for years. My symptoms are a bit different though. Breast chest pain and breathing pain. But I “failed” all the tests and I have an extra bone on my rib. :(

got my left cervical rib, 1st rib, 2 scalene muscles, and my pec minor removed in July. SO much less pain. now my right side (with the bigger cervical rib) is getting the same symptoms. Pain is so depressing

This condition is horrible. It’s nearly impossible to hold a job as everything requires functioning arms/hands. Treatment options aren’t great and it’s so difficult to get a diagnosis. There’s a massive lack of understanding in the medical field. I could go on and on about how much this condition can affect a person’s quality of life.

Thank you for talking about this!! I had bilateral TOS surgeries a few years ago, it was the best thing I ever did, but took YEARS to get diagnosed & was first sent to psych before getting it confirmed... bless you! 🤍

Roos test, not rose. Roos is a highly non specific test also. Almost every second person is positive for Roos test.
