If my vascular surgeon is not going to say that NTOS is still an issue, then I need an issue. Because whether or not he likes the problems I'm having, I'm having them and I can't keep waiting. I've not been able to hold gainful employment for the past year and a half now.

We have a Social Security Disability forum, you should explore it for help on that aspect. Check the sticky threads there too, for how to start a claim & tips.

I'm not sure if you need an exact dx, or as long as drs agree you are unable to work at any job (gainful employment?), but that forum has good members there to help with applying & questions.
