is feeling Horrible
I'm a wife of 12 years (this nov), mom to 4 wonderful children. After taking 11 years "off" working, and raising my family, I recently decided to re-join the working class. I'm currently a cashier at a whare-house type store. (like costco, only smaller) Soon after I started working, I began to experiance severe pain in my shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist. I dealt with it for a while, but then one day I was in so much pain that I was debating going to the ER! I called my doctor and went from there. Now, I'm seeing a Pysical Therapist 2 times a week and my doctor once a month. The diagnosis so far is TOS (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome). I hope to at least be able to manage my pain enough for me to return to the things I love to do.
