Hi there,
I have just today discharged a patient with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome whose pain now at 3/10 (previously 8/10). Her first rib is elevated and her pain was relieved from caudad mobilisations (not immediately though, the next day and for about a week afterwards) I have discharged her with lots of Scalenes Stretches/Inhibitory exercises. I guess I was just wondering is what the time frame usually is, for thoracic Outlet syndrome to clear as I wasn't able to be 100% specific when I discharged her. I guess it depends on how hard she works on it. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar case, and if so was it possible to clear the Patient's pain completely?
Thank You ,
Sarah
