Also, does anyone know if burning indicates anything in particular (e.g. severity of nerve irritation or damage)?

I have the burning sensation off and on. My physical therapist was fantastic and he thinks it is from the scapula. That is where those outter arm nerves pass through. My scapula became so painful from The TOS that it caused the burning in my arm. I have spent a lot of time doing massage on it- I even got those BROOKSTONE massagers so I could do it on my own. I took a while after the surgery and they are much better. All of it is so much better. I wish I did it sooner.
