hi mtnmom!,

thanks for your reply....

what test did you have that confirmed your vascular TOS?. I have a feeling that the MRA (MRI with contrast dye) isnt going to show anything and that perhaps a doppler ultra sound is going to be better...or even an angiogram?

Was your subclavian vein damaged beyond repair due to how long it took for them to find the clot and diagnose vascular TOS?.

So the reason my veins are swelling up is due to the blood not being able to leave my arm quickly?....my little finger looks slightly swollen pretty much 70% of the time at the moment - i can also see the vein from my chin and into my chest when i overuse my arm....i keep getting temperature changes in my arm too - mostly cold but sometimes an odd warm feeling - i think these are all vascular symptoms?
