Could you call the "Denver 3" and ask if they could refer you to a neurologist and PT in your area ? Maybe even fax you recommended PT treatments ?

That is exactly my concern. Noone seems willing to manage this unless I want surgery and those are the 2 doctors that I can find who are listed on websites as
treating TOS in Houston. The vascular surgeon says there is neurological component and the neurologist says there isn't because my EMG/NCV only had a slight abnormality at the ulnar nerve (which is, according to him, not related to TOS).
Are the "Denver 3" the doctors at the Vascular Institute of the Rockies (Brantigan, Synn, & Annest)? I was actually considering flying to Denver for a consultation since they seem to actually treat this and they accept my insurance.
