I've had an awful flare with nerve symptoms this week (my arm is on fire) after a period of slow improvement, and noticed the breathing is the first thing to go, which affects everything else. Things around my brachial plexus and shoulder feel chronically inflamed.

This is the first marked shift I've had in a while where I can't pinpoint the cause of a flare this bad.

Have been debating whether to do the pec minor release- have days where I feel I don't need it and days, like today, where I feel like I do!

I hate TOS.
Yes, humidity made my sx worse every time, pre and post op. If It rains, I avoid going outside. But cold weather is even worse.

I had a pec minor tenetomy, and I don't think it helped, most likely due to scarring.
