My layman's (of course) advice to you, 343, is to see if you can get a doc to order the MRA/MRV for you. Make sure they take positional images, i.e., arm down and overhead. Those pics are VERY helpful.

Let me ask you this: when you raise your affected arm, does it immediately go numb, lose blood supply?
