Ha, what a a...hole. I was then told by my own Dr that "he fails to believe what im telling him" refering to weakness / pain in my hands. Then I paid for my own MRI, ultrasound and Doppler studies and wouldnt you know it guys......Bilateral thorasic outlet syndrome and C5-6 central disc protursion abutting the exiting left side C6 and C7 nerve roots. Muscular problems sounds so much easier! Who thinks I should send those 2 Dr's a copy of my results???? I also seen a insurance Dr yesterday who informed me that if I can get out of bed I can go to work....spoke over me at all times....then told me he is suprised that some of the specialists I have seen havnt asked me to be their final exam patient! as I am a challenging patient. Another A...hole. Not much support down here im afraid.

Take that MRI report to those drs. and MAKE THEM EAT IT.....
Not only have I dealt with plenty of s%@& as far as TOS is concerned, several years ago I was having what 5 other drs. said were classic gallbladder symptoms. I was referred to a gastroenterologist who put me through all the tests. The scan came back showing my gb was functioning at 30-something percent, which they consider normal
So, after that, the gastro and the surgeon that I begged my PCP to refer me to, told me that there was nothing wrong with my gb because that test said so.....(You know where I'm going with this don't you....). I finally convinced the surgeon to just TAKE IT OUT and surprise surprise, he came out and told my husband that I was right- the gb was diseased....Imagine that....
