Hi there,
Does anyone know of a good TOS doctor in Sydney? I see my regular GP who knows very little about TOS and a physio who has me doing pool exercises. My physio wanted me to start a gym program??? Could you imagine the pain of it? So I am aware he doesnt really understand the pain of TOS. The only meds im on are panadeine forte and other pain meds. I have extra cervical ribs and disc / nerve problems at C5/6. I dont know if I should be on some other meds. I dont receive much support and my Dr just nods his head and agrees with everything I say to him. I am on Workers comp for a fall at work which resulted in the C5/6 probs. Thanks, Ozzy14 |

hi Ozzy,
There are only a few members with TOS in Australia. it is the home of the Bowen work method - maybe a expert practitioner could give some relief and posssibly recommemd a good doc for you. the posture connection is very important - esp with the ext c ribs - but if pain is high and continuous - a eval by a surgeon might be a good idea. sometimes the PT places can give the best suggestions for docs - as they know who dx for certain conditions? that might be a way to find a good one. are you c ribs large or a full set? i guess some can be just small nubs and some can be complete set.
