Thanks for chiming in.

As I also get relief from shoving my first rib down but then experience it come back up, I end up wondering if the root cause of my TOS is muscle tension. Something has to pull the rib up and that's the muscles. Which would be the two scalenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gray124.png). Which would explain why some people get relief from botox and/or removal on the scalenes; or from diazepam relaxing the muscles.

Not that there aren't other causes. Some people have cervicle ribs, auto accidents, etc. But I've already had my xrays.

I'm thinking I need:
-- more scalene stretches
-- followed by first rib adjustment
-- more meditation

Maybe also find a masseuse who can work over those scalenes good.
