Default Diagnosed Today with TOS

Hi everyone!

I saw a Vascular Surgeon today and he diagnosed me right away with TOS.. He said mixed but mostly neurogenic TOS. Originally they told me my appt would be 45mins long and I assumed I was getting a the duplex study but the appt was barely 15 mins long. He asked me a few questions and raised my arm and pulled it back a little while checkng my pulse. He asked me how my arm felt in this position when I told him it hurts, feels heavy and feels like someone is pouring cold water inside my arm he said "Yup you have TOS". He didnt review the info from the referring doc and didnt review my nerve study... he just asked me if I had one done and what did it show.

He told me to go back to my Physiatrist, start PT, get a scalene block and see him back in 3 months. Is this normal for a TOS diagnosis? I was expecting something more indepth...
