It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve published an article in the English version of Sur un Boeing Bleu de Mer<\/em>. It is not because I\u2019m out of love for my English-speaking readers. No, it\u2019s because I\u2019ve been having Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) flare-ups since last July. It left me almost incapacitated and using a computer triggers pain in my arms and neck.<\/p>\n

After feeling better in June, TOS pain became much worse just before my summer holidays. It would have been much more responsible to postpone and take a medical leave until I got better. However, I really wanted to spend time with my partner this summer, so I forced myself to work even if I was under a lot of pain.<\/p>\n

I did enjoy my road trip in Central France but I was unable to get some much needed rest. The pain got worse and I did not get much sleep as the beds were often too small and the pillows too big.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In September, I returned to my office and after a few days the pain got unbearable. I felt as if my body was shutting down and my doctor put me on medical leave until mid-October.<\/p>\n

During that time, I consulted with three surgeons that basically said the same thing: my TOS won\u2019t go away unless I have surgery. At that point, I had tried everything in my power to avoid it: physiotherapy, balneotherapy, anti-inflammatory diet, hypnotherapy and yoga. Having made peace with this necessary procedure, I will soon know the date of the operation.<\/p>\n

My pain level is currently much more manageable. It has allowed me to go back to work, but only in the mornings (3.5 hours\/day). During the afternoon, I rest or have medical appointments.<\/p>\n

I like working, it allows me to feel less lonely and have some kind of purpose. I sure hope that I will be able to continue working until my surgery.<\/p>\n

Recovery will take a long time since my TOS is now bilateral. It means that after my first surgery, I will have another a few months after. I still have many weeks of not doing much ahead of me!<\/p>\n

So now you know why my blog seems abandoned. I might be able to post from time to time \u2026 or not!<\/p>\n
