Another reason why TOS is still not solved, a consensus on diagnostic testing still can't be reached.

I'm a NoCal patient and I can't even find anyone here to give a scalene block. I've heard of someone near SF, who potentially gives them, but they're unrelated to any TOS expert in the area.

I've been told by multiple Doctors what JKL heard at Cedars. Sticking any needle or substance in the BP area and scalene triangle is not a good idea and they will not perform an injection. My scalenes showed as mildly hypertrophied on an MRi/A/N, so don't know if a block would have any effect on me....then again, another whole group of Doctors would throw my MRI away as hogwash.
