Do you have any shoulder/shoulder blade mobility issues? Do you strengthen your back muscles? Low/mid/upper traps? Rhomboids? Stretch lats and serratus anterior? Do you do any soft tissue work on yourself? Any thoracic spine extension? Foam roller?

On the right side though... I have levator scapula instability forcing me to go into forward head position most of the time. it has something to do with the shoulders too. i am still researching but so far i found it is giving me headaches & tinnitus & burning right neck. shoulder shrug + cat-cow fixes it temporarily and my symptoms calm down by a lot. i just need how to figure out to make it permanent, but first thing ill deal with my left side T.O.S. |

I wonder if your shoulder issue on the right side making you go into your forward head position is causing your scalenes on the other side to be tight causing your TOS??
TOS is so complicated. Hope I'm not over stepping.. just nice to talk to someone that is also going through this puzzling issue. Stay in touch with how you go. |

Once they overpowered my back muscles enough my shoulder basically got stuck in that forward position and my shoulder blade had an anterior tilt. This causes all kinds of popping and grinding noises..I know if I can get that shoulder blade to sit back and fix my posture that my symptoms will resolve. It's just incredibly frustrating when you have a few good days and then a really bad one that sets you back. |

It's like my nervous system has a learned response to slouching that any time I do it for an extended period I get hit with the symptoms. If I just say screw it and keep my shoulder pinned back an entire day (consciously) my symptoms are minimal but using that arm is difficult. Jo how are you doing these days? |

You know what they say.. old habits die hard.. well poor posture for a lifetime takes a long time to re train.. it's totally consumed my thinking. My relationships have suffered, my happiness has suffered.. but I will continue to fight this..

Notice both shoulders are almost reaching the ears + they are in one line. are they in one line in yours? if yes thats one sign for levator scapula syndrome. this is the 2nd sign: The Killer Stretch! LEVATOR SCAPULAE - Try This For Quick Neck Pain Relief - Dr Mandell, DC - YouTube can you do this stretch(be precise) without feeling tightness + can you go all the way down like Dr Mandell? if you failed these 2 tests then you have levator scapula injury. pec minor - i really dont have any problem with that muscle in my case. |
