HI
My BP mri showed neural edema which is irritation of the nerves. This was helpful in that was just one of the things pointing to a TOS diagnosis for me. The other was a scalene block (successful) but highly subjective and I wasn't in tremendous pain that day) and a physical exam by 3 different doctors who independently gave me a TOS diagnosis .Unfortunately botox didnt help me either. I am not pursuing surgery at the moment although had 3 consultations.I have had a little bit of success with PT, Trigger point injections and Lyrica. Occaisional Tramadol or a muscle relaxant. Still not enough for me to go back to work or be normal.
