Now, as of about a week ago, some new symptoms emerged and I can't decide if this is TOS related or something else. I have a radiating pain that runs down the outer part of my shoulder, arm, and the forearm. Basically, this outer radiating pain is the opposite of my traditional TOS symptoms that run more inside the armpit and inside of the arm.

The only thing that has changed recently: I have been rehabing some shoulder tendonitis fairly aggressively and I've been travelling a lot too. So, lot of new physical and postural stress.

Still, these new symptoms seem like it could be more of a cervical neck issue or mechanical issue in the neck/trap/shoulder area.

Or, has anyone else seen their symptoms just completely change after a long time?

Really hoping TOS hasn't thrown me a curveball here. I'd rather see something new and different...if that makes any sense.

Thanks.

You'll want to check with a PT, chiro or doctor, of course, but I believe what this means is that you're compressing a different nerve. There is the radial, the median and the ulnar nerves that innervate specific parts of the arm. IIRC the ulnar is the inside one. If you research them on google and google image search, you'll get more info.

So my interpretation is that your nerve compression has changed under the new shoulder exercises.
