Hi Ms, there are doctors that specilize in TOS in CA that several here use. Just a surgeon will generally jump to surgery as that is what they are paid to do. A top specialist can review, check your situation, options and start with a less invasive and work up. There may be some scaring, although gee that is a lot of years to develope now.

With their testing it maybe they can do the 3-D and see what is going on.
Hope you feel better soon,
