Golf and bad workout in the gym have caused me to have these symptoms!

I've been a guitar player for over 12 years and, 6 years ago I had severe lack of coordination/strenght on the pinky and ring finger of my left arm. After a mistaken diagnostic, I had a cubital tunnel surgery and it did not improve my condition at all. A couple weeks ago I had the thoracic outlet syndrome diagnosis from another medic. Im following your videos and doing the exercises, I really hope to get better for guitar playing is what I like best in life and I can't do it properly for 6 years now. Thx Bob and Brad.

I have intense pain down both arms from my neck. Neck muscles are hard on the sides of my neck. Fingers go numb on both hands. Right shoulder aches. Tremor in right hand. Upper chest muscles are tender. I would be grateful for any help. TY. Have been subscribed for a long time. You have helped me through some painful nights following a car accident that still torments me.

I'm actually diagnosed with Therasic Outlet Syndrome with Bilateral Cervical Ribs and it took extremely long (a full year) to find and now has caused tendinous in both rotator cuffs as well as extreme neck pain and striffness. My physical therapist found it before any doctor did. Everyone thought I was faking it. (Age 21)

Yeah, this is what I’m dealing with. It was initiated by a spinal injury at age 19. The doctor’s mention of neglecting back exercise is spot on. Weight training simply exacerbates the problem unless it is balanced with properly coached back muscles training. Exercising for vanity can do more damage than good. Exercise for utility, not for vanity.

YouTube recommended me to watch this video despite me not watching bob and brad or this topic on my account for several months SO somehow is listening to my conversations because this is exactly what my wife is struggling with for several weeks now. DONT SPY ON ME YOUTUBE, MAJOR INTRUSION OF MY

[ramyahegde]

Thank you so much for this! I have been experiencing pain from the neck down the arm due to continuous drawing and working on the computer. The 90-90 exercise was positive for me. I would love to see the stretches to help with this. Again, thanks a ton for putting in the effort to make the video!

4 years i been going through pain. Had multiple mris and nerve studies for my shoulder and nothing. I now im convinced that its TOS. I will check with my dr.

[inscoredbz]

i've started having tingling in my right armpit, right chest & back, all at the same time. no pain at all. my dr can't figure it out & my insurance sucks. what should i have them look at first?

[sallycunningham]

Found this and your other shoulder videos interesting as I can’t find much on here re a rare Arthritis syndrome called SAPHO syndrome-I have had 2 shoulder surgery’s and next month having 1st rib resection and bone growth removed from left clavicle (poss clavicle section completely removed ). Thanks for your very informative videos Sal

[deathsheadtarot]

You guys are always so funny! Was wondering about how Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome would play into developing this? any info would be great, Thanks!

[Bfickl_FL]

what if you have the opposite symptoms? so excessive blood to the hand that is relieved by raising the arms.

I have pain in my thoracic partially 4th rib on my right side. The nerve pain goes to my rear delt where I’ve lost strength in that rear delt. The pain radiates from my rear delt, to my elbow, and to my pointer finger. I also have nerve pain in my right upper pec. Other questions is when i tilt my head back and to the side it hurts on, i feel the nerve pain greatly of course in my neck, rear delt and chest. Would that still be thoracic outlet syndrome?
