If you're within traveling distance of southeastern PA, I'd highly recommend Dr. Scott Fried (610-277-1990) , who is an orthopedic hand surgeon who has additional training in surgery and treatment of TOS. He believes in looking at the patient as a whole, diagnosing and treating all problems in the entire upper extremity (neck through fingertips) using both traditional and alternative treatments, with surgery as a last resort.

Dr. Fried's online résumé:

Many of his patients have more than one type of injury.

Also, the EMGs done at Dr. Fried's office are done by experts in performing EMGs to check for TOS and other upper body nerve problems. Mine have been done by Rick Reed, who DiMarie has mentioned in past threads like this one:

If not, you could check to see if other TOSers in your area have had any good experience with orthopedic, sports medicine, or physiatrist type doctors who also have enough knowledge of TOS to sort out and treat the cause or causes of your elbow pain.
