I am so sorry to hear about everything you have been through and the pain you currently suffer. What you describe sounds very much like Thoracic Outlet syndrome.
I am glad that you found us and you will not only find information here but lots of caring and supportive people.
I am a TOSer and I have copied the forum link below for you. Up at the top of the forum we have many links and there will be many members that can help you sift through all of the information.

First off you need to find a TOS specialist and likely a vascular surgeon since the symptoms you describe certainly sound vascular in nature. Where do you live? There is also information on the TOS forum about workmans comp that you might find useful.
I am going to have your post copied over to the TOS forum so the members can read it and reply.
I'll keep a look out for you.
