We may have some self help ideas that might help you feel better.
Scalene reduction?
Did they clearly tell you the reason why, and how it will be a good thing for you?
Any other options, PT chiropractic, etc?

Hi and thanks for all the info.
Short version
Diagnosed neurogenic TOS in 2007 bilateral SSEP positive 2009 by nudleman in Santa Ana
Became coach potato
Started to get pulsating Tinnitus and venous hum which has taken over my life.
So decided to figure out why. Had cerebral angiogram found cerebral aneurysm which was clipped last year. Still have tinnitus and now syncope.
Found Collins at UCLA. Talked to him and he said there was connection between TOS and tinnitus. So he sent me to Dr Lawrence Miller. Doppler ultrasound showed damage to scalene and vertebral occlusion with arm extension.
Miller suggested PT but thought a scalene reduction was necessary. Have appt for MRI/v/A with Collins and just made appt with Ando (Wu) for PT in Anaheim hills. Who does everyone recommend at Ando PT?
Pain is 0 - 10 depends on what I have done in past few days.
So arterial TOS is new diagnosis.
