Many MDs don't fully understand TOS, and your symptoms may be mild enough that you don't have a full blown case of it.. be happy about that..
If you can get into an advanced PT/body worker, or multi skilled multi disciplinary chiropractor it may be better than wasting time at MD office visits..
15 yrs IT & poor posture is a bad combo to set you up for TOS , I'd really try to seek out very good multifaceted PT/DC or even a very good DO.
Don't settle for just any poor or mediocre therapy - keep looking and learning to get the best care you need.
Self help you can try for now is just lie on the floor , knees up, arms along side of the body , palms up and if you can slide them out at 90 degrees away from body , or all the way above head with NO pain do that many times a day.
If pain or any symptoms increase - stop and go back to where there is No pain increase.
Drink lots of clear fluids also as tissues/fascia can get sticky and cause many problems.
Lots more info in the TOS forum all sticky threads..
posture videos on youtube are great too.
