I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) with multiple issues, doctor thinks I’m a mystery?

a couple years ago my hand swelled up and turned purple and looked like a blood clot on top of my hand. a couple weeks later I was diagnosed with tos. I had to have a cervical rib resection. I still have pain in my arm, shoulder and hand from that. atleast that’s all I know it can be. I also have red blotchy, arms and legs and they get very weak at times. I literally feel the blood flow and when it stops. for a couple years now the right side of my face will out of no where get a strange numbing/tingling feeling and I almostfeel like im on drugs. (I am definitely not). my wrist hurts terribly especially after my finger lock up in strange positions. my fingers have done that for years but now my wrist is killing me. my right eye sometimes get off focused or blurring for a few but goes back. I have for at least 5 years had trouble with my bowels (constipation). I have to be careful what I drink because I will get a bladder infection very easily and kidney stones. I am 34 years old. I have 3 kids. all C-section. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago because I always had abdominal pain. sometimes still do but probably from constipation. my question is are all of these symptoms related to one thing or do I really have multiple issues? my doctors think I am a mystery but I need answers

Constipation is manageable by drinking plenty of water..olive oil in salad and… Read more »
