A member asked:
What could cause shoulder pain that extends to my elbow and hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TOS: 30's person has "pain that extends from shoulder to elbow to hand". This symptom constellation suggests neuropathic disorder; compatible with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Consult an Osteopath. In my experience, too many Neurologists doubt reality of T.O.S. A down sloping shoulder with weak ipsilateral superior trapezius muscle can be an offending bio mechanism causing brachial plexus impingement.
