TOS: One possibility is thoracic outlet syndrome which is a condition that involves pain in the neck and shoulder, . The thoracic outlet is the area between the rib cage and blood vessels and nerves coming from the spine or major blood vessels of the body pass through a narrow space near your shoulder and collar bone. Consult your physician to rule out this condition.
