[how do you get an attorney that believes in your case and find a doctor that will show causel relationship between your injury and work]
that's where I ran into problems too- my atty didn't help me at all when I asked for a list of better doctors!
he talked of knowing some good ones at the beginning when I signed on - but at that time my case and doc was doing OK.
after the denial and when I began to hear about TOS was when I asked about a more specialized doctor - and atty just never answered my calls or fax-
anyway I hope someone can give you some good ideas
I did find an independent advanced PT {he taught phys therapy at a university also} that did a evaluation and did find TOS but it was to late to submit that as evidence or proof at the hearing {which became a settlement negotiation}. cost 100.00 - but he was the one that dropped my top ribs so it was worth it just for that!
and showed me - the lay on the rolled towel or cylinder to stretch / drop the shoulders and release the pec/chest muscles
- those inflatable exercise balls work really well too!
My thought is maybe some of the PT places might know of docs that tend to specialize in TOS or even severe RSI ??
Talking to the PTs that I went to- they know who dx's what problems
- if I had know of that resource before hand i might have found a better doc for my dx
some places will take time to chat with you if they aren't busy at the time.
but you could call and ask a few questions first to narrow it down if there is many PT places in your area.
my atty totally pooh poohed my mention of TOS {as a waste basket Dx} - so he didn't help on that point either.
