Yes, I had these symptoms but the real issue was in my thoracic outlet and not under the pec minor. There's something called double (or multiple) crush syndrome. When a nerve is ticked off higher up the line it makes even minor compression lower down the line seem much worse than it actually is. For example, I had the armpit tightness/sensation that a broomstick was being pressed into my armpit and carpal tunnel symptoms. When my first ribs were removed, the other two areas no longer bothered me. It's about figuring out what area is the real issue or if both of them are.
