Because I can clearly feel that my scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles are full of trigger points despite weekly dry needling under ultrasound guidance. I

I talked to the ENT surgeon yesterday, and he told me something. Your fingers are numb, consult with your doctors in France, it’s more likely related to PTH hormone. TOS is possible, but you need consult with doctors in France. Moreover, many people have TOS and they live with it without any problems, only do exercises, etc.
