Please let us know how the scalene block goes. I'd also be curious if Dr. Gelabert mentions anything about botox.

I can chime in here about Gelabert's opinion on Botox. I just saw him Wednesday for pre-op.
If you have strictly NTOS (no venous involvement) he'll want you to try the scalene block before Botox. He said he definitely recommends at least trying Botox if you have a positive scalene block (pt & sx dependent, of course.). But a positive scalene block usually equals a positive Botox result in his book -- at least that's what he said to me. He's very much a believer in the scalene block as a HUGE dx tool, whether for Botox or surgery, that much was evident.
