I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow!! I also had to find out my diagnosis through several different doctors, vascular surgeon, sports medicine physician, PT, athletic trainer, and on and on.. Funny enough, my GP denied that I had TOS and tried to refer me to a psychologist because he thought it was "all in my head."

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
