If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen me mention this last week, but I saw an orthopedic specialist who thinks with some degree of certainty I have bad thoracic outlet syndrome. I have a set of extra, cervical ribs that greatly increases your risk of this as they can easily impinge on the thoracic outlet and cause neurogenic and/or (and, in my case) vascular compression, causing a bunch of arm and neck problems. I start physical therapy the 18th. Hopefully this is the problem, and PT can relieve it. Here's to a healthier and more productive 2019, and I cannot overstate my appreciation for Patrons and Drip backers who've stuck by my during this pretty crappy fallow stretch.
Best,
Erin
