I just got back from Dr. Weaver at USC. He found my lack of pulse when holding my arm up and back. He said that he thinks its TOS and ordered a scalene block to confirm. He strongly advised against doing a lone scalenectomy because he believes full removal of both scalene and first rib is the most sure way to relieve compression. He wants to see the results of my scalene block and believes we should proceed to surgery. Just another option!

Next up is MR Neurography tomorrow and then Angle on Monday. Also calling Mayo Clinic every day to see if they will bump up my appointment
