TOS, lumbar pain, plantar fasciitis and more

Hi,

I came across this forum after everything else failed and lost all hope. I am pretty sure I have TMS but would like you guys to reassure me.

My problems started a year ago. I had a bout of ear shingles which left me with tinnitus. After that I got really depressed, quit my job and felt really miserable. I started feeling slight tingling in my fingers which after a few months changed into a massive sharp pain i my thoracic back and neck. I did all sorts of test, mris etc. Finally, I was diagnosed with TOS as my pulse weakens in some test in ultrasound.

Obviously, I also have some bulging discs in my neck but on the other side than my arm problems, as well as bulging L5S1 and lumbar pain and plantar fasctiitis. When I look back, I have had issues for 7 years or so. Started with a buttock pain, ITBS, then achilles tendinopathy. I cannot recall a month without pain. I never associated those issues with stress, though, but it may all be connected I guess.

After I found out about TMS my symptoms in the neck and left arm weakend but a new pain in my hip appeared. I stopped running and cycling which was my passion as the pain was just too much.

There is obviously a lot of problems in the background like the aforementioned shingles, my sister’s suicide, job, family issues and probably many more.

Might be a stupid quoestion but do you think this is TMS?

 

Taking this quiz, from the PPD (same as TMS, some people use different names) website may help you determine if you have tms.

Thanks. Well, my score is 37/37. TMS for sure.
