2. What is up with the red/white blotchy hands? Does this indicate arterial involvement?
3. If you have ATOS can you do PT to avoid surgery or is it inevitable?
4. What is the relationship between the sternocleidomastoid muscle + TOS?

1. Idk, but my guess would be because the scalenes may not be as tight on one day.
2. It's like when the blood flow comes back sometimes I think. This is what it seems like to me.
3. I was not diagnosed with arterial tos until last month. I've done PT for ten years. I'm having surgery next month for the first side. I've apparently been a walking time bomb. ATOS is dangerous.
4. I don't think there is one. It gets it's on syndrome. I had problems with this when some crappy pain doctor did trigger points there trying to treat my tos. It felt like my throat was tight and I was chocking. Otherwise it had never bothered me at all.
