How Many People here have actually been diagnosed with TOS?
 

I'm curious to know if most posters are actually diagnosed with TOS, or are just thinking they have it based on what they've read. If you haven't been diagnosed, is it because you've had difficulty finding a physician who specializes in TOS?

actually diagnossed (by a neurologist).

this would make a good Poll Question!

Diagnosed by neurologist and vascular surgeon
I agree with Astern, good for a poll

a neuro said no tos
vasc doc said no tos
physiatrist (after reviewing everything) said tos
pt has said my ribs elevate. i believe they aren't always elevated tho
i think i do have tos but its complicated by something else, like ehlers danlos syndrome or magnesium or hormones. my entire body feels off.

im getting mild panic attacks at work and at random times. i absolutely hate it.

Was diagnosed by a chiro although he prefixed it with "sounds like you have...", then I came here. I was later diagnosed with TOS again by a vascular surgeon who had no doubts.

I apologize for not knowing how to make a poll. Should I abandon this thread and start over? If someone can point me in the right direction I'm happy to make a poll! :)

Diagnosed by a neurologist and two vascular surgeons.

To do a thread with a poll you need to open up the section below the new threads post box - called - Additional Options - then check the little box for Poll.


sometimes coming up with the questions and answers is the trickiest part -

ADDITIONAL INFO: I just wanted to add that initially it was a Physiotherapist:) ( the first one that I saw after a long awaited doctors referral) who picked up on my TOS symptoms........ 5 years after going backwards and forwards to my GP's and quite abit of money having been spent seeing chiropractors/osteopaths.
