Eagle syndrome vs. thoracic outlet syndrome

Symptoms and Treatments
21

@EagleRay - we have several members who are good at reading CT scans & MRIs to some degree. If you upload your scan(s) to dicomlibrary.com, the site will anonymize them & give you a link to share either here on the public forum or with specific members via private message. That might be the best way to get a more accurate evaluation of your scan(s).

Have you tried getting an appointment w/ Dr. Cha for evaluation for ES?

•Dr Cha, Headache Clinic at the U of MN works with Dr Omlie, can diagnose ES, 909 Fulton St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, (612) 626-6688, Yoon-Hee Cha | Medical School

If you’re struggling to find someone expert in TOS, some members have had online consultations with Kjetil Larsen (he has written numerous research articles about biomechanics, IJV stenosis, TOS etc) he has helped several members with interpreting their scans. Appts are only available online currently:
Home - MSK Neurology
Here’s a paper which a member posted written by Larsen:
How to truly identify and treat thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) - MSK Neurology
Hopefully members who’ve seen doctors for TOS might be able to recommend a doctor, but here’s links to a couple of discussions:
