I've had a CTA and MRV so far. I'm about to go to UofMichigan to have some more extensive testing (C-Spine XRay, CT with specific TOS protocol, EMG, and arterial and venous ultrasounds) so the vascular surgeon can get as xomplete a picture as possible of my specific anatomy and compression areas. I know the CTA said something about the scalene muscle being involved and no extra rib or bony abnormalities. That gives me a bit of hope about non-surgical options.
Are LLLT and triggerpoint work common therapies that PTs use? Did you have to search around to find a PT who knew how to treat your TOS? I know in another thread you mentioned having some arterial involvement, have any doctors tried to push surgery on you?
