Default TOS chronic and long term?

Might sound like a stupid question- but I'm dealing with some real characters in the military medical system. Since TOS (any form of it) is so misunderstood or plain NOT understood at all- I am having a difficult time trying to get the docs here to understand that TOS is chronic, and there are long term effects/treatments needed, sometimes even additional surgeries down the road. Could you help me find information on these accounts so that I can print them out and forward them to the docs- they are holding up some very important paperwork because of this. Anything like statistics, concrete information.

For the record, I have had two successful surgeries; one on each side for A and V TOS. But the docs seem to think "you've had surgery, you're cured- go home." And thats just not the case!

Your help is much appreciated!
Cheers!
