I've had MRI's of the brain (to rule out MS, Lupus, etc.) and of the cervical spine, and x-rays of the cervical and thoracic spine. In 2005, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease (at 27 years old!!) with protrusions at the C6-7. No extra ribs. I've been seeing a chiropractor and massage therapist (although not experts in TOS) since the accident in2001, and we've addressed posture. My posture isn't great but it's definitely better, but my symptoms have not improved.
After surgery, I plan to go to Palmetto Pain & Rehabilitation in Spartanburg, SC for PT. The doctor there is supposed to be very experienced with TOS.
Thanks for the info, and I welcome all comments/suggestions.
