Hi everyone,

I’m 23F and I got “kinda” diagnosed with nTOS. We are still in the process of confirming it, but both of my last doctors told me they are 99% sure. I wanted to come on here and ask for advice. It has been about a year and a half since I’ve been dealing with this pain, it came out of nowhere… I wasn’t active at the time, I wasn’t playing sports, I was just in school studying hard. One day I woke up with a bad pain on the top of my shoulder going down my arm to my hand.

In the time this started, I have gone to 6 different orthopedic doctors since a lot pushed me off because my scans were normal. I’ve been to 3 ERs with no answers or relief (the drugs don’t work on me… the only drug that helped at the beginning was prednisone and they won’t give it to me again). I had x-rays and MRIs of both my spine and shoulder that came back normal. EMG perfectly fine. Now after waiting 2 months for an appointment I’m finally trying injections on Monday. Lido in pec minor and an SSNB. What’s after this? Not sure.

I did physical therapy for about 2 months and I know that’s not insanely long but that was my plan. My PT told me my mobility is back to normal and that’s the best they can do, that the pain won’t stop just from PT.

So now I’m stuck. I want something sustainable that’s actually going to fix whatever is going on. I don’t know how long the relief from either injection will last and I’m going to try PT again, but I really need a solution. I see on here that surgery for this isn’t the best idea and now it’s affecting me mentally. I am in unbearable pain. I cry at work multiple times a day, it’s hard for me to even be a good worker because a lot of the time I have to ask my coworkers for help because of my pain level. Nothing helps it. And it’s constant. I go to sleep with it, I wake up with it. This month has been an all time low for me, pain level 9/10-10/10 almost every single day.

I should also mention, last Thursday I had symptoms I’ve never experienced before my right hand got really pale and cold. I asked everyone to compare and they said the same thing. I don’t know if I’m just going crazy and overly freaking out from the pain, I’m just scared my problem is getting worse and, again, I don’t know where to go from here. Anything will help. Thank you :/

My whole life I’ve never had anyone truly there. I’m 22, I know it’s still kind of young, but I just have no hope for the future anymore.

I thought I finally found my person. After such a toxic relationship that took me 2 years to get over, I thought this sense of happiness was going to stay forever. Well guess what? I got cheated on lol. I’ve only had 2 relationships, 1 was 11 months and this one was only 1 month. Yet it feels like this heartbreak is much worse than the first one. What hurts even more is that I have no friends to help me. I’m just home in bed 24/7. No one to talk to. No one to comfort me and tell me it’s their loss not mine. That their actions reflect themself as a person. I’m struggling so bad. I can’t even blame the heartbreak bc before it I was struggling too.

I just feel like I’m unlovable. Everyone who comes into my life, barely stays, but if they do, they treat me like absolute shit. I have no hope.

I want to accept the fact that I’ll probably be alone forever, but it’s just hard. For some reason my brain likes to think that there is actually a chance, but I always get disappointed. I know I’m young and there’s a lot of life ahead of me. But I really am so tired of getting my hopes up. To be led on by everyone, to be ghosted, to get cheated on, to get lied to. I’m just done. Now I find myself venting on reddit because I have no one… it’s embarrassing.

Hey guys,

So I’m 22F. I’m looking to make new friends, real friends. It’s been rough recently because my friends haven’t been treating me good and I’m honestly done dealing with that, so ideally I’d like to make actual good friends.

I love gaming. I’m big on it, although it’s hard to play as much as I’d like just because I’m busy. I’m premed so I’m currently preparing for med school apps and whatnot. But I play roblox, Minecraft, I LOVE warzone or any cod, gta, 2k, etc. I have both ps5 and pc.

Obviously I want more outside of gaming though, so other things I do is I’m a lil bit of a collector lol. I have a basketball card addiction, I love NBA, and I’ve been a die hard Knicks fan for the past 10 years of my life so I’m hype we finally got a ring. I love Funko pops. So basically I love hobbies of a 13 year old boy.

I’m also lesbian so I’d appreciate guys not acting weird, because I’ve posted here before and have been disappointed lol. But yea! I’d love to meet new people and be there for each other. Let me know!
