Hi! I saw him once about 3 to 4 years ago. For some reason, I didn't have to wait the 3+ months to see him. Hopefully, your wait isn't too long. He felt my vascular issues were secondary to another injury which has since been repaired. I was glad he didn't immediately suggest surgery. Since then, I have developed TOS on this side and I am currently being treated for TOS. I have had the other rib removed and so far (keeping fingers crossed), the operated side is doing good.
