Default Denise,

I have had a very hard time finding a good Neurologist. For some reason that job must be only a fly by night wants or at least 75% of them are. I have ran into some lulu's when it comes to Neurologist. I finally found a good one a few years back, he is the no. 2 in the U. S. for MS. and I really like him but he is at a loss at what to do for me but he has such a good heart and doesn't give up on anyone.

My advice would be to keep going to them until you find one that really will do something for you. I emailed you today in answer to yours and it sounds to me like you have TOS. This is just something that you might touch upon when you do find a good Neurologist but I would actually go to a TOS specialist. The Neurolgist usually only does the EMG to decide if you have TOS and they are most always negative. As far as the EMG's I have had 4 of them and they showed nothing but it doesn't mean you don't have the problem they are looking for. If you talk to the TOS forum you will see that EMG's aren't positive for many on there. So don't get disappointed if they don't show anything. Some do and some don't.

Don't give up on finding a good one because you can see from what a lot of go through in finding the right Drs. It's like looking for gold when you don't own a goldmine full of it.

I will also say that age doesn't matter. My first hand surgeon was great but he soon retired after he diagnosed me and my TOS surgeon is up in age. I always tease him about not retiring until I get my other TOS surgeon. Age doesn't matter.
Anyway
