im new to this site does anybody know of a family doc that ithat knows about tos it seem's like soon as you mention tos they get this confused look on their face !!!

[Jomar]

I don't know that many primary care docs or family docs know much about it, it's a little more specialized that what they usually treat.
They may know only a minor bit or incorrect info about it, and not fully understand it - that was my experiences.
Unless they are really into the whole body and muscular /skeletal conditions.

You might need to look for Osteopathic drs, physiatrist/sports /rehab types, perhaps a very good chiropractor or even a advanced PT to cover the TOS portion of symptoms.
If you can find a good family dr that will work in conjunction with the other types of care / therapy providers that should work.

There may be new TOS drs that we don't have listed yet -but this is the listing for PA from 2006

you should be able to call/contact them for some referrals or other names.

Then there is a top dog, Dr. Scott Fried in Blue Bell pa. The Upper Extremity Institute.

Excellent. A young Dr. Togut. The issue there is he had a managed care program and if you are not local it is difficult to keep up. A lot of books and information he has to share with families to explain what TOS is.
.
www.nervepain.com tell him Uncle Les's niece Dianne referred.
