He did mention pec minor, but not that much. Dr. Donahue indicated that it could be a target for botox injection as well and worst case if surgery is needed, could be a minor target as well.

God knows he tries to be even in his presentation to patients to ensure that they don't get too high or low, but I read Dr Donahue to be pretty confident in his hypothesis that the abnormal scalene insertion is the major culprit. He also noted on his physical exam when pressing on my neck above the clavicle that "jeesh, you're really tight here."
