Maybe he was speaking from a purely surgical point of view?? To do surgery or not? Like- If real bad you get surgery & if not live with it sort of thing????


I'd have to refresh my anatomy knowledge to delve deeper, but basically I think there can be minor, partial, full to severe for all versions of TOS.

The cause, effects, length of time gone by, good or poor PT- all can vary so much person to person.

I feel if The Dr, or an associate (possibly an advanced PT person) don't do any hands on testing/palpation - I just think they are not fully up on things...


You have good imaging of the C rib?
Any other anomalies mentioned?
Was size or possible compression of anything mentioned?
Some are small/partial some are large/full.


Have you had any other Doppler or blood flow testing?
Seems like a vascular surgeon would want those....to be sure of things...
