I have been experiencing increased pain in my shoulder/clavicle area lately. The pain feels deep and radiates into my scapula region and trapeze muscle. What has alarmed me more lately is the feeling I've been getting in my pec/chest area. It's like a tight burning pain. Sometimes it feels difficult to breathe it gets so tight. Is this a normal symptom of NTOS? Has anyone experienced this pain in the chest area. I couldn't sleep at all last night....the pain started in my shoulder and just started getting worse. The burning pain was unbearable. My forearm has been so tight and painful. Feels cramped. And the usual weakness and fatigue in my grip strength and arm. My arm. Feels like it just wants to hang. I carried my 18month old daughter yesterday for just a minute and my arm felt like I just did a heavy workout. Burning pain down the arm, and so fatigued. Then the scapula pain followed. Kinda just venting and wondering about others experiences with these pain patterns. Thanks.
