Clinical Tests / Diagnosis
I know TOS is often a diagnosis of exclusion with many times the diagnosis coming from one of many physical tests. Curious what tests doctors have done for you and what showed the most positive evaluation sign for TOS.
For instance I can do the "hands up" Roos test with discomfort but can go the full three minutes with only mild tingling present. I feel heaviness more in my shoulders than outright pain. For some this causes excruciating pain. When they depress my scalenes to recreate symptoms I am fine. I am told some are in horrible pain. Same with pec minor.
I ask because I am having trouble isolating where my entrapment exists and palpating the scalenes and pec minor (as of today anyway) do not recreate the symptoms. Anyone else fall into this category?
But seemingly my symptoms are getting worse with more burning and cramping in my forearms. So clearly there is unresolved compression somewhere. Just can't figure out where the problem area is.
