Hi, and welcome to Connect.

I searched for that (Thoracic outlet syndrome) in the search window. All references that I see are posted by Jennifer @jenniferhunter , I'd suggest you read her posts or she might respond directly if she notices this mention of her Connect name. Jennifer is a good resource, very knowledgeable. If you need any more info about how to contact her (or anyone) let me or someone else know. Lots of helpful people are available for you here.

Best, Hank

Hi @donsbaby2016, you'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussin about thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) where you can connect with other members like @jenniferhunter and @raingirl99.

Donsbaby, what led to your having TOS - accident, sports injury, other? What treatments have you had? Do you do physical therapy?

@donsbaby2016 I also have TOS and my hands used to turn blue and get cold and I could generate pain and spasms with my head and neck position. Myofascial release has helped me a lot. Can you share some more details or what your doctors have said you should try for treatment? MFR has given me better posture and helped TOS significantly. Here is our discussion where you can find more information. I'll be happy to answer any questions. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/
