I feel for you, I had thoracic outlet syndrome and I doctored for months before they figured it out. I finally went to a neorologist and he did a variety of tests on me and the most important one was that I moved my arm in a certain direction it cut off my pulse. I had a bundle of nerves compressed around my first rib and had the rib removed. The pain in my shoulder and back and arms is gone except for I have some nerve damage in my bisep and just tingles to the touch. I would definitley look into this surgery, it worked for me. Good luck and I hope this helps you..........
