My PM doctor was going in looking for a neuroma so they did a slight sympathecomy at the same time. Honestly it made me worse, I should of listened to him and to this day I still have pain in that area. The neuroma was never found either so it was a compete waste.

I see you live in NJ, me too. You also stated that you have TOS and a brachial plexus injury. After my injury it took me a few doctors to find the correct ones. The doctors who got my arm back, which I almost lost complete functioning, are from the Hospital For Special Surgery, Upper East Side 70th and York, NYC. They have a new Brachial Plexus and Nerve Trauma Center. The doctors affiliated with this center are the best of the best, two of mine are part of this new department. If you can manage it I would go straight there to get an opinion.

Wishing you the best. Here is there website www.hss.edu.
