Since you did PT already , have you considered seeking out and consulting with an expert chiropractor or body worker?
I did have the best results from a multi talented chiro and also a teacher of PT.
Did PT check for raised top rib , or do any rib mobilization? But some get little relief from rib mob , just depends if it is a factor or not..
Many of our members that lifted weight previously , did have to find other fitness avenues.. more focussed on flexibility, postures and whole body wellness..

Thank you! I do know that some TOS present with no pulse loss at all and my muscles are definitely not hypertrophic. It's interstimg you mention seeing a chiropractor because I've thought seriously about seeking one out. I guess since so many docs have told me that all of my MRI's look ok, I haven't felt an urgency but would appreciate the second opinion so I might just go that route. I have purchased an intelliskin sports bra from Amazon to help hold my shoulders back and am waiting for it to arrive. My PT did not look for a raised first rib and an extra of my chest was free of extra cervical ribs. I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you!
