A member asked:
Can thoracic outlet syndrome wrap around to ribcage?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not sure: Not sure what you are asking, but if you are asking if the pain caused by thoracic outlet syndrome can wrap around the chest area, it is possible depending upon where there is nerve compression.

NO: Thoracic outlet is part in the lower part of your neck where the nerves and blood vessels from the neck travels to the arms underneath the collar bone. The first rib frequently contributes to the problem besides the muscles and occasionally an abnormal rib known as cervical rib.
