I've done 6 months of PT with limited success. My surgeon is no longer practicing, my family doctor has no clue and I'm lost. Any thoughts. My searches keep leading me to pec minor syndrome but not sure if I'm grasping at straws.

Pec minor sounds quite possible in your case. I had tos surgery 1 yr ago, at 6 mos postop started w worsening shoulder, scapula, arm and hand pain & numbness. I always feel like my shoulder is pulled forward and out of place compared to other side. I recently saw my surgeon and he agreed my shoulder looked to far forward.
He says I have Pec minor and wants to do Pec minor tenonomy (sp?)
I read Pec m syndrome can cause shoulder impingement (it decreases the space between acromian & cocoroid (sp) bones and can cause bursitis. I had shoulder surgery for this 3 yrs bf my tos surgery and now I need Pec m surgery. Go figure!
