Dr. Brown is a neurosurgeon who doesn't do ribs so I wouldn't recommend him.
I'm prepared to hear that neuro and ortho have never heard of TOS. Funny, I work with Occupational Medicine Drs and when I told them that I had a cervical rib the first thing out of their mouth was 'TOS'.

Additionally I move overseas early January and my worst fear is that my condition will prevent me from moving - if I'm diagnosed correctly - or that medical will give me a motrin and tell me to rub dirt in it and then I will be sent to a base that has limited medical resources.
