HI Missa,

As a TOSer, the symptoms you describe sound similar to TOS.

You should also look at something called Pec Minor syndrome.

Be very careful with physical therapy. It has to be very gentle for TOSers and most PT's are not trained to deal with TOS and try to have their patients strenthen too soon.

There is a great book on the internet from Sharon Butler who is a TOS PT expert.

Take a look at the link that Jo posted. We have a great list of resources and a great base of members to get knowledge from. Hopefully you are in an area where we have some TOS docs.

Take a deep breath, I know its hard to do and relax. You dont want to tense those muscles anymore than you have to.

Also try to get some muscle relaxers.

Keep us posted. We are here for you.
