Do you have any swelling in arms? arm color changes?

My blood flow still stops when I raise my arms up.
There is a small % of population that is normal for them, and for whatever reason they don't get TOS.

I have mild symptoms now, more myofascial discomfort than anything.
My worst times were in 03-05, from multiple RSIs & shoulder strains that became TOS due to many years repetitive work combined with static postures.

Early on I had sharp hand cramps, loss of fine finger coordination, wrist pain from tight/spasms-ed muscles, forearm pain, elbow pain & hypersensitivity, neck pain, shoulder pain, upper back pain, I think that covers it..

Found expert therapy/chiro, off work, lots of self care /posture stuff..took quite awhile to get beyond having to be careful of activities.

There is also a "disputed" TOS - if no clear nerve or vascular cause fits.

I feel it is very possible to have some nerve and some vascular symptoms , and not enough to be clear cut for one or the other label.
poor posture, spasms and trigger points can affect the nerves and the blood flow in the area.
