I get this when my TOS flares up on the same side as my worst tos symptoms. Same location as you mention. It always goes away when the flare resolves. I think I did see this symptom mentioned in a TOS paper but I am not quite such of that.
Inflamatory compounds from the TOS area can migrate to other areas that are not neurologically connected and affect nerves there according to one of my doctors. I remember this was his explanation as to why GI symptoms and back pain can occur with TOS flare. The facial symptoms could be similar but I don't remmber.
