Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a condition involving the neck, shoulder, and upper rib cage. Pressure on the nerves in these areas can cause numbness and tingling in the arm, hand and fingers. Often, this is an overuse condition involving the muscles of the chest, shoulder and neck. In other cases, an extra rib above the first rib can cause the same condition. Massage is indicated for this condition and will reduce muscle contraction, often relieving the pain.
