TOS pain
Tos pain is from an injury to the nerves, most often the injury is in the brachial nerve bundle, the cervical nerves as they leave the spine at C5.6.7.8.& T1. They travel across the traps, behind the collar bone, in front of the first rib. When injured the nerve cell which continues to travel down the arm into the hands can have symptoms at one or multiple levels. "Double Crush".
So generally the injury is at the the top like whiplash, RSI, anywhere that three feet long cell can have an impingment like the elbow, the hands etc.
BUT, also one can have a crush injury or impact or injury along the brachial path and it does travel upward. Just majority of injuries are from the top down.
Some have more pain in the hands from the use, as in bending at the wrist.
My daughter ahd CT surgery on her hands from the EMG resluts but the carpal tunnel was fine when they got in there, she did have a ganglion up higher and a second surgery to remove that.
Many people with TOS develope ganglions in various areas.
Just a few thoughts,
Di
