Not Carpal Tunnel

So the doctor says that I have pregnancy-induced Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He says that CTS does not have pain that goes up to the biceps like mine does, but that TOS has pain that shoots down from the biceps all the way to the fingers along with similar numbing. Evidentally when I sleep on my arms at all it cuts off circulation to my arms and pinches all the nerves as well. Thus he approved me to sleep on my back until week 26... I am at week 19 now. So this is great. Last night I slept on my back and only woke up once... which is amazing for me. The rash is still being determined,.... they are testing me for a thing called Fifths Disease and as long as that comes back negative tomorrow then we will assume that it is due to new-onset eczema. Ah, the North! So hope this helps to update those listening and hope to have great news in the future that the TOS goes away after delivery.
