    neurogenic thoracic outlet

    well upon further review it looks like i can completely rule out the Wikipedia reference-linkradiculopathy. seems that it's more likely to be a problem with entrapment in my thoracic outlet. I've been stretching my scalenes and pecs and have felt a lot better the last 4 days. the tightness in my shoulder/rhomboids is pretty much gone. i still have some tightness in my tricep.

    how can i go about completely wiping the problem out?? what kind of time table am i looking at? i've been stretching mostly using muscle energy. any other tricks that might help?

    Re: Puzzling Shoulder/Tricep Problem

    to further clarify some of my symptoms.

    I have no loss of range of neck motion. No overpressure to my neck causes any symptoms in my arm or pain for that matter. My shoulder is a bit tight on internal rotation. the dullness in my tricep and occasional flare ups/tightness in my scap/trap/rhomboids are my main concerns at this point.

    the dr.s i saw the other day mentioned the potential for neurogenic thoracic outlet, as well as a brachial plexitus.

    hopefully this clears up some questions anyone had and might shed some light on potential problems. i really appreciate any help/advice.
