From my screen name you can tell that I am an xray tech aka radiologic technologist.

My symptoms from a work related injury have not resolved as they should have with the treatments I have had, so I am being referred to a neurologist for nerve testing. The docs I have seen so far are suspecting brachial plexus involvement.

From what I have been researching about TOS in the past few days, my symptoms are classic and also atypical TOS. My specific work injury and also the specific work tasks/postures/physical exertions in awkward position with mostly overhead work would seem to fit the profile as contributing factors.

It is kind of worrisome to speculate this diagnosis. I hope this is a condition that can be cured with conservative treatments so that I am able to return to my chosen profession. I am to old to retrain for another career.

Are there any other xray techs here who have TOS and have quickly returned to work?
