Nerve-related pain can be tricky to diagnose, especially when it comes to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), particularly Neurogenic TOS (NTOS). If you’ve been feeling unexplained pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms, hands, or neck, it could be a sign of nerve compression that’s affecting your daily life. 🚨
Here are some key symptoms of NTOS you need to watch for:
🔹 Pain and tingling in your neck, shoulder, or arm
🔹 Weakness or muscle wasting in the hands
🔹 Numbness or a heavy feeling in the arm
🔹 Worsening pain with overhead movements or certain postures
Why is this important? Early recognition of NTOS can lead to a better treatment plan, including physical therapy, posture correction, or in some cases, surgical intervention to relieve nerve pressure.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait! Talk to your healthcare provider to get the right diagnosis and start your path to recovery. 🙌
Stay informed, stay healthy! 💪
