Did anyone ever have soreness and pain below breast area from TOS?

[trixlynn]

Yes, I have pain there all the time.

[astern]

Yes!!! I have it now!

I had a mamogram and ultrasound to rule out anything - so I am assuming that I use the trunk of my body more to compensate for the weak arms. As I pick things up I sort of 'scoop' them with my arms and press them against my body. Maybe... maybe I am making my ribs sore by doing this???

Any thoughts?

My pain is right below the breast area. Rib area. I think it was caused by sort of the same thing. I use that area more to compensate for week arm. Also, posture is terrible, I may crunch that area up when sitting and etc..

there is a nerve called the inter coastal that runs in that area too - if it is getting pinched or bothered somewhere along it's route it can cause pain in that area.
I can't seen to find a good diagram for it though. to show it.

here's an old thread talking about it-

Woo Hoo !

One symtom that I do not have

All of these muscle groups and nerves are interdependent, so it doesn't surprise that an effort to lessen TOS pain, like different posture, would cause issues in another area.
