Well i had a physio move my arm and neck into a certain position and reproduced the symptoms in my shoulder blade and arm. Then a pain cons last year did adsons maneouver and my pulse weakened but not complete loss on the right side. This latest dr last week had me sit on a chair and he lifted my arm around a bit in diff directions and said my pulse was fine in both arms so im confused - someone over on the tos forum said that neurogenic symptoms can sometimes be semm like vascular.....so im just permanently confused really!
Mri showed no pinched nerves....but i do have tenderness on lower C vertebrae.
the pain cons also thought i may have nerve root irritation.....

Did they check for a pulse? Also, I could control the blood flow in my arm. If I left it down, it would swell and get red. If I would lift it up, it would turn white.
I also had some of the symptoms that you say in my left side/shoulder and such. Has anyone said something about a pinched nerve??????
