I'm back
I was on this board years ago - 04 thru 06 (guessing). I don't even remember my name before - might have been Lady Parrot.
I was dx'd 12/26/04 by Dr Togut with neurogenic TOS and have been seeing Dr. Nelson in Johnstown for pain management since 05. Due to a recent illness he unexpectedly closed his practice. So I find myself back to square one looking for a doctor who will treat me - I am not a surgical candidate (nor do I want surgery). I've been managing well with a mix of pain meds/muscle relaxers, stretching, self trigger point therapy, etc. All the doctors I've called so far, either won't even see me or only do injections. Does anyone know of a TOS knowledgable doctor (not surgeon) in the Pittsburgh area? I traveled 2 hrs one way to see Dr. Nelson because there weren't any 7 yrs. If I have to travel up to 50 miles I can.
