LA, Gosh another one from the CA group!
I was just thinking of a few things but one that pops to mind you can do now.
You mention that Dr J did not reproduce your symptoms with hands up....
Something I discoverd we do as patients subcounciously is roll shoulders or bring arms a bit forward/

What I mean is try this...Bring your arms like like in the stick um up being robbed position. Bend the elbows so your elbows area about shouler even height.

Do the open and close hands.
Now bring the shoulder backward in toward the spine!!!!
Feel it tighten in the spine/wings..push back. Now how do you feel for the test.

What happens when we raise are arms up, we do it to "feel better" Less pressure, to not hurt.
This is not closing the outlet area!!!!!!, bring the shoulders back not toward the chest but back toward the center/spine, this is the compressing action.

Ypu Should feel a lot different from what you felt that day if I am right.

Otherwise it could be something other then TOS.A nerve inpinged or stretched and not being compressed in the outlet. The tiny opening in front of the first rib and behind the collar bone.

How did it go/
Dianne
