Jo is the one you quoted, David.
TOS is complex, and I don't know a whole lot about it, but Jo is very experienced. TOS can be vascular compromise, nerve compression, or tendon oriented.
But since you asked, I'd try rubbing some magnesium lotion into the traps, neck and biceps. I am using my CVS Epsom lotion now for my right arm, which gives me grief now and then. I think the muscles there can spasm too, and compress nerves, at times.
My right arm is the shingles arm too. Also the one I use for my walking stick. Mine is more shoulder pain, not muscle.
