See the purple arm on the left?
Doctors said Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and wanted to cut her neck open and remove a rib and 2 supportive muscles because her arm wasn’t getting enough blood, the arm was getting progressively weaker and the hand muscles were atrophying at a fast rate.
My 3 hour examination revealed not one but three choke points at the Thoracic Outlet and the muscle compartment of the forearm and the muscles of the hand.
Doctors and Therapists please notice the straight finger driving the thumb into the muscle. That is because my thumb gave out from exhaustion.
The work that I do is extremely demanding, grueling, and mentally stressful at times, requiring a minimum of 10 hours per day for five consecutive days, and occasionally necessitating two sessions of five days with multiple areas of compression.
Yesterday after the patient left, I slept from 11 PM until 4 PM to the following day or 15 straight hours and just walked around in a days all day.
That’s why their nickname at the pain exorcism.
