Thank you for this opportunity and excellent video or show about TOS. I have heard of Dr. Lam from my research, but it was just impossible to see him financially. I was diagnosed with all 3 types of TOS in 2005 from UCLA at Gonda, I have flare ups and it is atrociously painful. I was a typist with bad posture. Did have all the surgeries mentioned here. I am now seen by one of the vascular surgeon at Vascular Surgery Associates, 1082 Glendon Ave, LA Another specialist in Santa Monica is Dr. Sheldon Jordan, doesn’t accept health insurance. Thank you for your service.

thank you for all your information..I am of the very rare stroke patients. 11 years ago I woke deaf dizzy and listening to a roaring on the affected ear. I will be sharing this video.

Me too. My heart goes out to you. I had multiple embolic stroke and I lost everything due to it.

Have you ever heard of cerebrovascular hyperfusion from arterial tos? I have severe cognition and vision changes that directly correlate with the amount of subclavian artery compression. I also have bruised looking bags under eyes that go down my cheek a bit when compression is bad enough. There is a medical paper called " Does thoracic outlet syndrome cause cerebrovascular hyperperfusion? Diagnostic markers for occult craniovascular congestion" Kjetil Larsen is one of the authors and everything lines up with what I have been experiencing.

Hi there, I have Vascular Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, I have the initial even in May 2023, I refused thrombolysis because of risk of bleeding, I was on heparin for 8days in hospital once the swelling subsided I was discharged on blood thinners. Roughly 10days after being discharged I had a mechanical thrombectomy procedure to remove the clot however the surgeon stated that the clot had solidified in the vein which made removing the clot difficult. The doctor stated that I would need to stay on blood thinners for life if I don’t remove my rib. I decided to have my first rib removed and I’m currently waiting for the procedure, however the doctor said that the clot can be left in the subclavian vein because it has solidified and won’t move even after the rib removal. Could you find out if that statement is true and what you would recommend? Much appreciated!!

Good to know. I have a car crash into me from behind, whilst I was stationary. I have a sternoclavicular joint dislocation posterior, a fracture on the clavicle and it dislocated from the AC. I have a smashed first rib it has a osteophyte growing in to the chest. The first rib is separated at the costal vertebra, nerves compressed at T5, 6, 7, 8 roots, T1 as well. That’s just the right hand side. The left sternoclavicular joint has ligament tear and same spread from the nerves. This caused multiple embolic strokes, ignored by the hospital, ignored by the doctors and the pain has been absolutely horrific along with dizziness. The stroke went in the back and hit the frontal lobe so I have problems with my impulse control, it’s getting better. Thanks for this video, I could have presented this video including the neurogenic symptoms. Love the video this is one of the best I have watch. Thanks gents.
