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.
That's fascinating because I also have the leg symptoms on the same side as my TOS and often felt there could be a connection between them, but didn't know what it would be.

Does the MRI help show the specific areas of compression, such as scalene triangle, clavicle and pec minor? Did you get more details out of this on why/where you have compression? And if you did, would that help the PTs?
