How do you know your circulation is causing the pain? I have both Vascular and Neurogenic TOS. I also had a cervical fusion (ACDF) 1 year ago. Nerve pain & muscle tension can be a compounding cycle. I have had pain that I just knew was myofacial that turned out to be nerve pain or caused by nerve pain. I have pain like you describe on both sides but I believe it to be the neurogenic component, not vascular.
If I were you I would find a physician nearby with experience with both forms of TOS. Where are you located? Any university health systems in your area?
