Hi, my name is Randy and I am new to this. I was diagnosed with TOS 2 years ago and had my first rib resected. Now, I still experience large bulging veins in my arm, especially when I am hot or doing physical activity. With this bulging comes heaviness and engorged feeling as if the blood flow is extremely bad through my bicep, forearm and hand. Can anyone relate to this? I have no pain or restricted motion though. Just a very uncomfortable, almost unbareable swollen feeling and the need to get away and get cooled off from whatever I am doing.
La pregunta es: porque primero sufriste una compresión entre la clavícula y la primera costilla, no tuviste las mismas sensaciones que los que tenemos espacio normal.
Por lo tanto, tu primera costilla fue extirpada para que la vena, la arteria y el nervio tuvieran plena función y sensación.
Aumentar el flujo sanguíneo trae mayor oxígeno y nutrientes a los tejidos, lo que aumenta la reacción exotérmica.
Es posible que tengas una arteria subclavia o una vena subclavia lesionada.
La mejor persona a quien preguntar es el cirujano que te extirpó la costilla.
Yeah, I have consulted with him a few more times after the surgery and had a venogram. He said there was still blockage on each side of my thoracic outlet in the subclavian artery when my arms are raised. Got a second opinion from Johns Hopkins University and came to a conclusion there is nothing else they can do about it.
I just never understood why I never had numbness or pain. If anything, I lift my arms for relief. So that is why I assume I just had bad circulation now because only heaviness and bulging of my veins occur.
I did have three small clots in my blood vessels removed when I was 20, located right above my clavicle on my neck. Now, 25, ever since I was 22, my arm started feeling heavy and the veins worsened. I had the rib removed 6 months later.
I am slightly depressed because I cannot live my life the way I want to. I would do anything to fix it, but it is hard to keep going from doctor to doctor spending money. I just want to know for sure that there is nothing anyone can do about it, it would make a big difference in my life.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo... Quiero que te aferres a la esperanza... Cuando yo nací, tú moriste con las mismas partes con las que naciste. Pero ya no es así. El conocimiento médico crece de manera exponencial cada día. No, hoy será sí, mañana.
Johns Hopkins es muy respetado... pero otros también lo son. ¿Alguna vez se discutió el injerto subclavio? ¿Qué especialidad de médicos viste?
