Very interested in this thread.

I've been thinking about my sleep position and my particular TOS situation. In my case, I have a compression of my subclavian artery on the right side. I also sleep consistently on my right side/shoulder with my right arm outstretched/straight.

For somebody with TOS on the right side, would this position be problematic?

As for the exercises and this particular case, this is encouraging. If a serious athelete can overcome this with a systematic approach to exercise and stretching I'm wondering if I can as well. I've been looking for a strict approach here. What I'm doing on my own with scalene stretches seems to be helping the symptoms I have around the elbow and last two fingers, but the scapular pain on the right side remains a problem...and it all definitely flares up with serious exercise...just like this particular football player when he has contact.

Are you sure it was just exercise 2 that did the job? What about the others?
