Hi, I hadn't paid much attention to this thread as it didn't apply to me. Today, I have been having this pulsating, almost like a nerve twitching in my right shoulder. It's really weird and is just above my collar bone. It doesn't hurt, no lump, just annoying.

Thanks to all of your responses. I don't think it is as alarming as it may sound. It is definitely due to compression, however, there really is no pain. It is just an annoyance. I am wondering if surgery would alleve me of this nuisance. Dr. Ahn said maybe, maybe not. Had he said yes, I would have had surgery right then and there! Of course, nothing is for sure.

I will let you know if I have surgery and if it alleviates this. Thanks again.

Thanks. I hope everything is ok. Hopefully you don't need surgery. My thing is just weird and annoying. It's just a nerve twitch but persists. Not painful. Hope all else is well! Linda

I have this too. for me it is behind, around the shoulder blade area. At first the pulse felt like i had the TENS unit on that spot; like a pulsing massage. But after awhile it became very annoying. I was told that it was a neurological symptom of TOS. It comes on especially with use of the arm. I did read about it on one of the papers listed in the stickies.

LinJane,

I have experienced the same annoyance that you have. What seems to help me at times is stretching your neck to the opposite side. I believe it helps open up some space in there. Try holding your head to the opposide side tilting back a little bit for about 15 seconds.

Let me know if that helps.
