If you have WC, you are allowed to pick you own doc. Can the doc that you chose petition WC for authorization for the bone scan ?

What tests were the WC docs doing that "proved" that you didn't have TOS ? For some of us, it shows on an EMG, but not for all. For some it shows on an MRI of the brachial plexus, but not for all. Even the Adson's....some with TOS don't test positive and some people in the general population do. There is no one test that will definittively prove or disprove TOS. The dx is made by exclusion....based on symptoms after other things have been ruled out....unless it's a case of an extra cervical rib.
