I want to try some more baby steps first.

Chroma –
TOS is hard to deal with. I remember what it was like with the other side. I eventually opted for surgery as conservative treatment wasn’t helping and only seemed to make me worse. I had signs of muscle wasting and had lost the use of the hand/arm. That side is doing great but TOS re-surfaced on the other side due to a shoulder injury.
Have you tried botox yet? I get a couple of months relief from it and since the scalenes are relaxed, this might be the time to return to PT to see if it will help (while the scalenes are calmed down).
