HI! I'm 28y/o was in a car accident on 10/2/08 hit from the R-side&my shoulder slammed against the door.Tried physical therapy for about 18 months.When I was about 80% better from 10/02 accident, 6 months later I was a passenger in a 2nd more violent accident.Car I was in turned left w/o a green arrow, our car was hit at over 60 mph-the impact hit exactly where I was sitting R-side backseat.W/seatbelt on I flew to other side of the car.Immed after that accident I had HORRIBLE neck pain(now unable to sit 10+min).After I couldnt lift my arm.Ive seen 40 drs-sports/shoulder orthos, vascular/spine/cardiothoracic surgeons, everyone!
I have had 8-10 mris, 5 emgs/nerve conduction,evoked potential, doppler&many more.After the accidents I didn't take much time off of work because I was concerned for job security.Eventually I was forced to take a leave as result of increased severe pain&bossmans "suggestion".So DIAGNOSES:labral tear w/3mm cyst-noone is concerned about, yet my rtc is constantly in pain&incredibly sensitive to touch, feels like stabbing just by touching; diagnosed w/RSD/CRPS(had 3 stellate ganglion blocks); went to ucla, a radiologist who specializes in thoracic outlet syndrome, his mris showed my 1st rib is being forcedup toward my collarbone&clavicle forced down compressing everything that passes through; went to 2 cardiothoracic surgeons, even tho 2 docs who diagnosd TOS were positive I need surgery-surgeons aren't confident.
Wondering if the tear&cyst in back of my shoulder could be getting worse, as the pain in the back of my shoulder is.Does anyone know if a 3 mm tear should just be ignored?As well, I'm curious if the docs r having trouble placing me into a neat box of a diagnosis because I was in 2 accidents causing varied injuries.I'm still curious if should have arthroscopic surg to fix tear?Also, I know TOS controversial, anyone have any ideas?I'm grasping@straws desperate for this 2 end.Has taken 2 yrs of my life=(
Thx so much 4 any help! =)
