I have not been given an official diagnosis of TOS although I have been exhibiting all of the symptoms for more than a year. The thing that is keeping my docs hesitant to label me with the TOS diagnosis is because I did not have significant improvement of my symptoms with the botox injection to my anterior scalene and pec minor. Just wondering if it might help in the diagnosis and with treatment.

I had one at Johns Hopkins. They didn't find anything in the MRI. Most all of my tests were negative expect for my EMG and nerve conduction. I just had a first rib resection 2 weeks ago. Still too early to tell how well it worked though. It's worth being thorough and getting all of the tests done you can. I spent 2 years going through everything before deciding on surgery.
