Default OK, I went to a vascular thoracis doctor yesterday

This is the guy I should have seen a long time ago. He did all kinds of tests and had me put arms over head and tested pulse etc.... He said 1 of my arteries is being pressed on somewhere affecting my left arm. Probably muscular related since muscle relaxers and heat help. Most likely in my neck since the ultrasound on my shoulder/thoracic area showed nothing. So tired of tests showing nothing! At least he confirmed a little bit for me. Just recommended some exercises and said maybe one day it will show it self off more. Funny because I felt horrible in the waiting room and had trouble breathing. I felt fine during the tests. But most of the tests are kinda of stretches. When I stretch out it does feel a little better at times. Anyway, he had me make a fist and put his fingers on the 2 veins going into my palm. Then let go of 1 and the blood returned to my hand. Then did the other vein which showed irregular since the blood didn't return to my hand. Meaning an artery or vein is being pushed on somewhere. Wish I knew where or how to fix it. I'm assume at the same place a nerve is in there. When I stretch over an exercise ball it feels like something is kinked up in my back and in my arm. Like plucking a guitar string and I get numb. Ok, Enough about me

Anyway, thought I would update.
