It might be one in your area. I can't tell u how many neurologist I've seen. Most doctors are going to keep repeating the same test, so be aware. Most neurologist are going to do the nerve conduction test, and the majority of those are going to be negative. But if u haven't had it, u should have it done. As stated, go to a vascular doctor. TOS is a difficult illness, I've had three surgery and still not better. Long story. You can read some of my writings on this forum if u like. GOD bless, and don't give up!!!
22 years and 3 surgeries!!! God, ur a trooper!

Thanks for the advise. Il be weary of more tests. Luckily iv got a pain specialist and neurologist who both acknowledge the tos diagnosis. It's definatly I time for a vascular surgeon since the symptoms and getting worse- now hand weakness and trouble keeping my arms up.

What do you do for work? I can't see myself being able to work as a geologist again due to the amount of desk work, and the physically demanding environmennt of a minesite.
