Hi Vicki,

Thank you so much for your response to my email. Yes, the pain can be pretty
unbearable. However it is much worse when you don't know the cause of the
problem. Especially when your PCP thinks it is all in your head!

I think I just found a Dr. In Pittsburgh, PA that is familiar with TOS. He is
a thoracic surgeon. I also just found out from my mom that I do have an extra
rib! They were going to remove it when I was younger but the Dr.s opted not
to. So, I am going to call the office tomorrow to see if they will see me!

Thank you again for your email.
Talk to you soon,
Jill
