He knew that it was there because of blood getting diverted away from my spinal canal and to my arm because of compressed arteries that weren't getting blood to my arm.

After the 1-1.5 hour MRI, we sat in his office for around 4 hours going over all of my images. I just wished that I had more pain medicine with me because I wasn't able to fully concentrate, ask questions, or enjoy the great man that he is because of how much pain I was in. I hope to talk to him on the phone in the next couple of days to ask my remaining questions.

The report hasn't been completed yet, he normally takes about two weeks to finish it. He said he spends the initial 4-5 hours with the patient, and then spends another 4-5 hours doing the dictation for the report later. I'm definitely going to post the report on here once it's done. I'll never go to any other radiologist for TOS again.
