I have nondisputible TOS and even have the studies to prove it. It's probably double crush--or so I've been told in the past. But I have lots of arm symptoms and especially on the not so bad TOS side, which for me is the right side and I am right handed. This makes me believe that some of my symptoms are things like tendonitis.

What I'd like to find is the correct diax for my arm and hand problems in addition to the TOS. I was diax years ago with bi-lateral tennis elbow but that was years before any TOS diax. I just went to a local physiatrist and he wouldn't even look at my arms, telling me that it doesn't matter what else I have and that he would look at me after I have TOS surgery on both sides. But the surgeons I've seen will only do one side, at least for now, and I may choose to never have the rib resection. I at least want to try to find what conditions I do have so that I can try to treat it or choose to finally go ahead with a rib resection.

So what kind of doctor usually diagnoses conditions like tendonitus... and is it possible to find one that can differentiate between TOS and the others? I haven't found a good doctor for TOS anywhere in town yet or I'd ask them for a referral. I am not looking to jump into any other surgeries but I'd like to get appropriate PT or some kind of pain relief or muscle re-education or something. I think that since I have ligament laxity that I am subject to lots of stuff being that I haven't been able to exercise my upper body in a long time. And I'm not sure what kind of doctor to see for the ligament laxity/ hypermobility issue either.

Any suggestions appreciated.
