Yea, I might end up going that route. I'm curious to see what they say. I know at least something was off with my EMG this time, because the physician doing it tried it like 5 times on my tricep, and then did the other side, where all the others muscles he only did once and moved on, right arm only. So hopefully there was enough proof of nerve impingement to get me out of the I'm a crazy hypochondriac category.
But I'm sure getting my results reviewed by a TOS expert wont be too hard after that, seeing one of the worlds leading TOS experts is in the same building, should be easy to send over the records haha.

Yea, I would love to take some time off school, however, I'm in my very last semester of pharmacy school (done in dec), and I got those dollar signs in my eyes, I've put too much work in thus far to have to give up due to some disease. Nothing short of being a paraplegic or dead will stop me from going. That won't stop me from complaining about going though :P
