They are the ones if you touched the flame and turn red and hurts sends the pain impulses to the brain. They are the first affected in TOS.

Tolsons article is excellant to take to the doctors with you.
Hands on testing to reproduce the symptoms, checking to see sensory where you are as far as feeling dull and sharp pain, along with a detailed history is a large part of diagx TOS.
I will go search for the ppost now.
Good luck

Oh, when they did my EMG I had a NVC test too that put a probe, not the needles, on the collar bone area and sent a signal, to the palm of my hand. This diagx type should my brachial nerve problem.
