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.

I'm located in the US, so I don't have any experience with Dr. Al Moran. I was passing along what I read. If you do a search in the TOS facebook group and order by "most recent" you can expand posts and read the comments on them.
I'm seeing a physiotherapist in Ohio, so I'm not sure that will help. However, it's worth asking here (as you have done) and in the facebook group to see if anyone knows of someone! Even if you do opt for surgery, physical therapy can be very helpful before or after, as many people will respond to it.
