I have learned that Drs do not like a patient to tell them the suspected diagnosis. It seems like they will find every other cause but what you suspect. So, only give your history , and of course, every symptom that makes you suspect you have TOS and your suspected causes.

It sounds like the neurologist already suspected Thoracic Outlet as the cause of your suffering. She sent you to physical therapy for it. I would try to get a follow-up appointment with the same neurologist.
Get a nerve conduction test of the brachial plexus

See my posts on t he docs in Denver.
