Elyse,

Yes, I can relate to that pain and had trouble sleeping at night a few weeks ago. I saw my physiatrist a few days later and he offered to do a scalene block then. It broke the flare so I was more comfortable. It hasn't been that bad since then but it is definitely worse than say 2 months ago . . . When I get that horrible cramping forearm pain, I wrap the arm in a heating pad and it seems to reduce the pain. I have ATOS and NTOS, too. They wanted to schedule surgery right away based on the doppler results but I have to wait a few months for personal reasons. We are trying to figure out how to move it up a bit due to the rapidly worsening symptoms.
