Question How do you get a Dx?

I am beginning to think my shoulder pain is TOS and not the herniated disk in my neck. How do you get a Dx on TOS?
I can tell you my Dr. won't know what I am talking about... argh..

But I had pain in my shoulders while sleeping and then they did the MRI which showed the herniated disk in my neck (C5/C6). the did epidural which did not work. However when they did the medial branch block/facet joint injection it did seem to help.

But OUCH.. the shot has wore off and my shoulder under my arm and on the top of my elbow, my trapezeous and scalene muscles hurt bad, and I have this swelling at the supraclavicular area (ultrasound and xray couldnt find a reason for swelling)... sigh..

Sooo there is a lot of reading on here, can anyone narrow this down?

Thank you so much.

J.
