Don't forget we have an older thread of this also, which I started when this first opened.

We have the "Top 5 symptoms"

and then some threads on "All symptoms."

A few posts above discuss Dr. Collins (radiologist) from UCLA. In work comp, his findings are not dispositive as no other radiologists can "read" what he "sees" - at least in So. Cal. I love Dr. Collins - I haven't had his $17,000 image, but some here have - it went from about $8,000 since I first had TOS and keeps rising - (not his fault) - but he does spend a LOT of time explaining about TOS to the patients and if you CAN get your insurance to pay for it, then it is a great learning tool.

My surgeon (Dr. Annest in Denver, and I had a consult with Dr. Brantigan also) would not use Dr. Collins image, either. Each surgeon has their own imaging preferences, and I think Dr. Ahn will look (L.A.) at Dr. Collins image, but not sure of anyone else.

So these are just more tidbits to put in your TOS knowledge.

Best of luck to all.
