Have you been to the physiatrist or had any expert PT?

and if those seem to fit perhaps some TOS specialists might be best - They should be able to sort out any c spine issues from any TOS sx.

Many drs only know a limited amount about TOS and usually have a biased opinion not based on full knowledge. They may say they know of it but...
I have been to a 2 local orthopedists, who have differing opinions. One just wants me to deal with neurology and doesn't like my symptoms. The other feels that due to the central flattening it definitely could be in both sides and shoulders and clavicle.
I have not been to a top notch physiatrist though. I am definitely going to though, because this is so much more than neuropathy. Most of my upper body problems are coming from my neck. It almost seems like my neck threw my whole body into autonomic dysfunction and small fiber neuropathy.
