The neurotalk forums are invaluable as the forum format lends itself much better to being able to search up past posts and view replies in a timeline based manner. If you are looking for specialists in a particular area, the "Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) Support Group" on facebook may be able to offer recommendations as well. I only bring up the facebook group because someone literally posted about toronto doctors half a month ago, and I remember they were able to get some feedback about it. (that's where I got the recommendation for Al-Omran from). Its a bit more chaotic to sift information from, but its large member base has its benefits.
I've been lurking here since June, mainly to absorb information about the condition. I developed it in May, and since starting physical therapy on June 15th, have seen a dramatic reduction in my symptoms. Much of the information on the forums here has been very helpful!

Thank you for responding. So happy to hear from someone in Toronto and that you heard good things about Dr. Al-Omran. He is the second surgeon my daughter saw and he seemed to be very thorough in his appointment with my daughter. First surgeon suggested neurogenic and no surgery. He is suggesting there maybe a vascular component and recommending surgery. Waiting for CT Scan to be scheduled and then see him again.
I actually joined the facebook support group 2 nights ago and haven't had a chance to look at older posts, but will definitely try to see what was said about Dr. Al-Moran.
Did you see Dr. Al-Moran yet and if so, did he recommend physio.? Are you willing to share name of physiotherapist as my daughter was going to one but not for TOS and looking for recommendations. Hoping it will help with the neurogenic portion of TOS while waiting for surgery if that is final recommendation after CT Scan.
Glad to hear you are seeing improvement with physio.
