Tomorrow I have an app with yet another hand surgeon who has been treating TOS for 30 years. Do you think it's necessary to see a neurologist as well?

Did you have any leg issues before now?
Have you had any MRI or xrays of spine to make sure nothing is an issue there? The rule in/ rule out part of a correct diagnosing scenario. Often many tests need to be done to make sure nothing else is the problem, the TOS is more clear if all else is fine. *blood work, imaging, positional testing, Doppler or blood flow testing, EMG/NCV..

I haven't had any other tests yet, just starting now. Nerve test is scheduled for jan 6th.
I did not have issues with my leg before, they just started. My leg was numb all night from yesterday's testing and my hand is also on fire. |

Yes.
Make sure they check the brachial plexus, not just for carpel tunnel and cubical tunnel. That is what they did on me the first time. |
