A member asked:
What is thoracic output syndrome and how can it be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: Thoracic outlet syndrome is a group of disorders that occur when the blood vessels or nerves in the thoracic outlet — the space between the collar bones and first rib become compressed. This can cause pain in your shoulders and neck and numbness in your fingers. The treatment will depend on the cause.
