Have you seen the TOS testing thread ?
It gives a good overview of many of the tests that can be used if needed.

I had quite a bit of buzzing and weird feelings inside my forearm muscles for a few months.
Are symptoms only in your arms , or do you have some neck tightness/stiffness along with the arm sensations?
Any fine/detail finger coordination losses? |
Nerve compression can occur anywhere along the path of the muscle where the brachial plexus is covered by muscle. In addition, the myelin sheath may become "sticky" due to irritation. This website explains it better than I can:

Surgery or injections of any kind should always be considered an act of desperation. First try trigger point therapy of the scalenes (3 on each side) and both pectoralis minor. There's a lot of stuff in the axilla (the brachial plexus, lymph nodes, blood vessels), so any work in this area must be careful. But the corachobrachialis can entrap the nerves deep in the armpit.
But do try the nerve gliding stretches which can release adhesions within the nerve sheath which will make movement of the nerve easier.
