I was told by my neurologist that I had "something wrong", and 4 years later and about a dozen dr's and a un-needed ulnar nerve entrapment release surgery, my neurosurgeon took a x-ray and found a cervical Rib.

Then I went for PT and they tested me for the lose of my pulse in the arm and when I lifted my arm above my head, it would be lost.

So I found out thru a combo of a neurologist,neurosurgeon, and PT.

I see the surgeon at The University of Michigan on March 7th,It is a relief to finally know what is causing my issues. Most dr's don't look for TOS or know what it really is, let alone treat it.

Good Luck
