NTOS vs. NTOS and ATOS

This is a nice article for those of us diagnosed with NTOS but also have symptoms suggesting arterial compression.

Eight, thanks for the article. What I found interesting was that it mentions during a physical exam with the arms up 180 degrees and palms facing inward if the palms turn white then it indicates vascular compression. So if you have NTOS and also have the palms turn white for this procedure then do you just have temporary vascular compression or are you actually diagnosed with VTOS. My palm turned white, yet I only think I have NTOS.

Both of my palms turned white! I have left ATOS + right supposedly just NTOS. We'll see.
