Big TOS Medical Word of the Day - Hyperalgesia

Hyperalgesia = increased sensitivity to pain or enhanced intensity of pain sensation

This happened to all three of us, the back of our arms have spots that are numbish, sensitive, hard to explain but we all have it. Maybe nerves were stretched and didn't fully recover postop? It's not a problem for us unless a dog or a kid or unknowing person taps or touches just the wrong spot on the back of the arm....eeek.

To my own detriment

So recently I've been tapping away on my trusty laptop alot, violating every one of the tip I've given for avoiding TOS pain.
Sitting in the slouchy recliner.
Laptop on my lap...looking *down* for extended periods.
Also tried to use pruning shears to trim out in the yard.
(What was I thinking?!)


Well I am paying for it today, let me tell you.
OW.
So to all my fellow TOSers out there, be wary of slacking off and not minding the little ways you have come to compensate to avoid pain.
Don't be a slacker like me.
If you suffer with TOS, you know its worth it.
