I'm on the verge of tears right now.

I went to the Neuro, told him everything I've been experiencing, mentioned TOS and asked him what it was... he completely disregarded anything I said. If I remember correctly he said, "Well, all my tests are normal. There is no nerve impingement and the EMG/Nerve Conduction Test is completely normal. It's not a nerve problem. I think you just have a pulled/strained muscle and Physical Therapy will help with that. If it doesn't, I suggest you see a Pain Management Specialist. But there is nothing more I can do for you."

WTF?

I understand maybe a nerve isn't pinched in my neck... but maybe somewhere else? And as I've read, people with TOS tend to have normal EMG's. I am just so upset about he just wrote me off pretty much.

What am I supposed to do now? Just keep going to PT and hope it gets better?
