Hello @jesss2, Welcome to Connect. Your symptoms sound similar to Thoracic outlet syndrome - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/thoracic-outlet-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20353988. @jenniferhunter has some experience with TOC and may have some information or suggestions she can share with you.
Have you discussed your symptoms with your doctor?

@jesss2 Have you had any imaging of your cervical spine? I have TOS and am also a spine surgery patient. Typically TOS pain can be triggered by raised arms and certain neck positions. If you also have cervical spine issues, bending you neck may trigger pain too. It can be complicated to separate where symptoms are coming from. Would you be able to provide more details on how you can provoke pain or the positions that increase your pain?
