So I found out thru a combo of a neurologist,neurosurgeon, and PT.
I see the surgeon at The University of Michigan on March 7th,It is a relief to finally know what is causing my issues. Most dr's don't look for TOS or know what it really is, let alone treat it.
Good Luck

Hello, I am sorry that it you have had to endure so many unnecessary tests and that you have been in pain in so long. You are correct, most docs dont look for TOS, some literally deny that it doesnt exist even though there is physical proof that it does. It definitely is a controversy in the medical world, that is why it intrigues me! I hope that it goes well when you go and see the surgeon in March! I wish you the best of luck, let me know how it goes!
Take care,
K
