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 ended up having my MRN and it showed "increased signal in the right proximal and distal plexus and increased signal in the posterior left plexus." It does not give any indication of what muscles are causing this constriction. My understanding is that the increased signal is showing there is edema. Is anyone familiar with MRI and can help me with this. I would really like to know what is contributing to my TOS. I'm going to see a new Dr in the seattle area in a few days. Does anyone have any suggestions on treatment recommendations?? Thanks for your help
