He does not have experience or numbers to discuss with me about it but I am on the lookout. I have a consultation with Dr Miller that is here in the Los Angeles and Orange County area. apparently he does PRP injections for this TOS.
Any comments?

Hello J Heumann,
I am interested in your feedback from your consult with Dr. Miller. I have longstanding TOS, bilateral scalenectomy/pec minor and now believe that I have scar tissue in upper left portion of brachial plexus. I had one revision surgery with Dr. Gelabert- it initially helped but know I think that scar tissue grew back after a year. Do you have information/sources that I can read about regarding the PRP injections? Hopefully you are doing better?? What can you tell me about your experience with Dr. Miller. Where is he located? What is his speciality etc...
Thank you
