Mspenny,

Until I was diagnosed with TOS I long thought I had a shoulder problem. I had this burning scapular pain so figured the shoulder caused it.

You mention rib pain...is it burning/tingling? When I really irritated my situation my burning scapular pain would "spread" down my upper arm and all the way down my ribcage. (Eventually this "spread" down my arm and to my last two digits once my ulnar nerve got kinked).

Anyways, little did I know that it was the compression of my subclavian artery in my neck causing the issue. I only found this by getting an MRA -- both with my arms above my head and down at the side. The one with my arms above my head showed the compression, the other didn't.
