Yes I do--not only my arm, but also the back of my neck. I have bilateral arterial and venous TOS (I got it from severe whiplash); I'm pretty sure I also have neurogenic TOS, and I will see a neurologist for the nerve conduction studies, etc. to determine that. I will be getting partial rib resection surgeries on both sides (about one month apart). What has helped me a lot are Lidoderm patches. They are large patches with local anesthetic that you stick on to the painful area (for a maximum of 12 hours). You need a prescription from your doctor to get them. My burning pain reaches its peak toward the end of the day, so I put a couple of the patches on in the evening and sleep with them. They don't always stay stuck on that well, so I fasten them on with some tape to keep them in place.

to olecyn: I don't know if you meant to be funny, but your post made me laugh, and trust me, I really need that right now, with the thought of two major surgeries coming up! You have a way with words :-)

whiplash injuries are so debilitating

i dont see how anyone with tos and/or whiplash does ANYTHING

I agree, it's difficult to work with a mild tos seriously.

Yes, I get burning in the back of my neck, scapula, lower rib cage, forearms and top of hands. If I do stuff that requires fine motor skills (which I used to do when I worked), I get burning in my wrists and elbows.

I have bilateral NTOS. My left side was operated on 7 years ago.

the burning at the back of your neck

how do u know if thats muscular or more nerves

What does mottled skin mean? Just recently diagnosed with TOS. Caught between one dr saying it's the dics in my neck and another saying it's TOS. Glad I found this forum.

Blood circulation issues. I get this problem too!
Do everything you can to improve your blood oxygen levels, quit smoking, alcohol and concentrate on your breathing technique, " Belly breath".... from the diaphragm.
In short: vessels switching off and a lack of blood circulating to the skin's surface.
