You prompted me to start looking over at your threads...very interesting to say the least!

For TOS, I will bring up our Top 5 Symptoms. From there, we also have difficulty swallowing, ear pain, face pain, and other ancillary pains that not all share.

But mainly, it is the HIGH, HIGH pain of the upper extremeties, including an area between the shoulder blade and spine that feels like a knife has been put there (and is still there!)

I think it is strange that you have an additional rib!

You definitely should have an MRI with fluid imaging or a CT to make sure that the rib is not blocking your veins / arteries in any life-risking manner.

God bless you on your healing path...it is very confusing for some of us.

I'll bump up a few threads for you.
