My husband got TOS from a sports injury. As I understand it, anatomically he was TOS waiting to happen. He's about 5'11", but most of his height is in his legs. A short torso with not much room to fit everything in, so it was not a surprise that some things overlapped and aggravated other things. Which doesn't exactly bode well for the uninjured right side, but we're not going there!!!

Erin, I was diagnosed with TOS July of 05... the Dr who did this DX Dr. Togut hung up his scalpel several years ago, but he recomended 3 Drs in Denver Ahn, Brantigan and Sanders after speaking with all 3, I made my choice and flew out and seen Dr Sanders... I can not wait to see him once my WC comes through and get rid of my pain! Dr Sanders was all everybody said about him! His exam was quite extensive and and he also injected my scalenes and Pectoral minors with lidocaine which was the clincher as to the areas involved... My best of luck to you and your hubby, great to see one partner taking care of each other and I have a great support in my wife!!!!!!!
