Scaredsilly,

Based on your previous threads, I understand you live in NY. What was the result of your appointment with Dr. Roscoe?

Flying all the way to Denver and changing your insurance just doesn't seem worth it to me based on your symptoms. While the older posts in this forum are definitely Denver-centric, all of the TOS expertise does not only exist in Denver.

If you are worried about clotting and stroke, you can definitely get that investigated locally as any descent vascular surgeon should be equipped to deal with Vascular TOS and perform a doppler ultrasound as well as order an angiogram/venogram for you (I would not delay). Flying to Denver for this is unnecessary in my opinion.

If I were you and lived in NY, I would consult one or both of these:

Dean Michael Donahue, MD - http://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/doctor.aspx?id=16342

Julie A. Freischlag, M.D. - http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/surge...lty/Freischlag


I hope you continue to post and respond to the questions you are asked. I've noticed that you haven't always responded in the past when follow up questions are asked of you. 2-way participation is what makes this forum so useful.
