Interestingly my worst pain (Upper Traps, neck, Rhomboid area) would come in computer mouse position, no matter how my neck was when I'd move my arm out. Now the first 30 deg of abduction only requires supraspinatus, upper traps and deltoid per some sources. So I wonder if I have supraspinatus issues as well.

Quote:

Neuromuscular deficit: Weakness/paralysis when abducting at the shoulder under resistance. In normal subjects the supraspinatus initiates the first 15 degrees of abduction along the vertical plane. The deltoid functions from 15 to 90 degrees, while synergistic actions of the trapezius and serratus anterior abduct from 90 to 180 degrees by rotating the scapula laterally. Denervation is accompanied by muscular atrophy, shoulder adduction, ‘winged’ scapula, and cutaneous deficit along the distribution of the axillary (superior lateral brachial cutaneous) nerve.


Differential diagnosis: Abductor weakness/paralysis plus cutaneous deficit along the superior and lateral arm are diagnostic of axillary nerve impairment. A “winged” scapula indicates a deficit of the serratus anterior/long thoracic nerve.

Newly diagnosed with TOS- leg muscle twitches
 
I was diagnosed with Thoracic outlet syndrome about 2 months ago, my symptoms have always been pain in neck and shoulders with weakness in forearms and arms feeling heavy especially when doing any activity with arms. Some numbness in fingers occasionally. Here recently I have been having extremely aggravating muscle twitches in my thigh muscle and my upper arm muscle only on the right side, none at all in my left side. I am not sure if this is a symptom of TOS or not....I just know if is driving me nuts!!
