I may still get approval for the second half of test. If the doc called them. But it was worth the cost. I would have never found out about everthing. Explains so many of my symptoms. I had no idea how much damage there was.
So I would definitely recommend it for any TOS patient. Itakes it more real than just the pain and stiffness. Collins can see all the nerves as they come off the c-spine and pass through the BP.
My contract with blue cross requires authorization. Just be careful because there are multiple ICD codes since he does MRI of shoulders right and left and the MRA of BP. Blue cross approved the MRA of BP but then wanted more info for the shoulder MRI.
I'll be at Ando pt Monday and Wednesday too. Monday 3:30 and we'd in am. So far it's good but have felt really crappy. The TOS which appears to be neuro and venous is affecting my entire body. Legs hurt due to compression of jugular and tinnitus is very mentally exhausting.
