Has anyone had one of these studies? my ultrasound showed compression in the subclavian vein and also maybe an artery so on to the veinogram. the surgeon said that if a vein or artery is compressed long enough it can lead to scar tissue inside the vessel.

also this dr gave me 2 chest xrays (front and side) knowing that i don't have an extra rib. what would they look for TOS wise in an xray - besides the rib?

i'm feeling annoyed that he didn't think highly enough of the MRA or even Dr Sanders' scalene & pec minor blocks to bother considering them. He seemed to think that only his ultrasound was of value. Also he didn't make anything of certain symptoms e.g. the pec-minor pain that seem so obvious to me but i see that each doctor has their specialty and his is to find vascular TOS. also he had never heard of Lyrica or even the notion that a TOS patient would be seen by a neurologist.

my arm and shoulder are burning and fatiqued so i think it's time to turn in.
