I don't know that many primary care docs or family docs know much about it, it's a little more specialized that what they usually treat.
They may know only a minor bit or incorrect info about it, and not fully understand it - that was my experiences.
Unless they are really into the whole body and muscular /skeletal conditions.

You might need to look for Osteopathic drs, physiatrist/sports /rehab types, perhaps a very good chiropractor or even a advanced PT to cover the TOS portion of symptoms.
If you can find a good family dr that will work in conjunction with the other types of care / therapy providers that should work.

There may be new TOS drs that we don't have listed yet -but this is the listing for PA from 2006

you should be able to call/contact them for some referrals or other names.
