I'm noticing more swelling than usual even with a shorter walk today and also more pain in the arm and then leftover after my walk so I made an appt to see a doc does the ultrasound. The office said they are first looking for clots and that they could tell if the swelling is artery, vein or lynph. It would seem odd to have a clot after 4 yrs of TOS wouldn't it? I doubt that that is the problem. In the meantime I will keep my arm activities to a minimum until it is checked out.

I can't help but wonder why Dr Sanders or some of the other well known TOS surgeons don't rely more on an ultrasound if can see so much and for such a relatively low price in comparision to the 3D MRA. I've had that and also the the scalene and pec minor blocks. Does Dr Jordan do add'l testing once the ultrasound is performed?

I feel very relieved to have the support of the group. thank you all.
