A small percentage of "normals" will have pulse loss with arms raised also.

That is an indicator only, for more testing, and of course any sx documented that might be related.

I think there can be mild, moderate & severe levels of TOS.
Sometimes moderate can be brought down to mild by expert PT and self care & time.
Took me 2.5 years but some of that was wasted time due to WC and uninformed MDs. I was only learning about TOS myself by forums like this at the time, then brought the whole list of links here when this site began.


I don't know if many qualified top TOS surgeons will operate on someone that is not in a high moderate or severe category, unless there is an obvious clear cut reason for surgery.
