Challenging: Not so sure that the disc protrusion is responsible for your symptoms, unless it truly is compressing nerve root. Would certainly have an evaluation for a problem within the proximal brachial plexus, which could have been injured by shoulder strap. The term "thoracic outlet syndrome" refers to a possible problem which may be somewhat difficult to diagnose. Find an experienced physiatrist.
