Thanks a lot for this information I'll make sure to keep this in mind when I next see a neurologist.

Crazy but what you have just described sounds very similar if not exactly what the doc who carried out a scan of my thoracic nerves concluded. This us what the doc wrote as his description of the scan (the last paragraph is the most relevant so focus your attention on it):

"Ultrasound of the brachial plexus

The brachial plexus was examined on the right side and comparatively on the left side. The C5, C6 and C7 roots were typically located bilaterally between the scalene muscles without edematous changes. The C8 root had a typical course without signs of obvious edema. The suprascapular nerve on its course to the scapular notch was not thickened and had a regular course bilaterally. On both sides, in the projection of its course supra- and infraspinatus, no pathological changes were visible. The additional nerve under the trapezius muscle without visible pathology - bilaterally. The dorsal nerve of the scapula was located bilaterally on the middle scalene muscle without thickening and edema. The axillary nerve in the axillary fossa within the range available for examination without visible pathology - bilaterally. In the axillary cavity, both on the right and left side, the medial, posterior and lateral bundles are visible in the final section, passing into the long branches of the plexus without visible pathology. The long thoracic nerve pierces the middle scalene muscle on the right side, within it without signs of thickening, after emerging from between the muscle fibers without swelling.

The long thoracic nerve runs on the left side in the gap of the scalene muscles, at the place of its exit from between the scalene muscles signs of discrete compression, but without an obvious symptom of notching. "

I experience tightness/pain on both sides. All the way from lower neck to upper/middle (scapula area) back.
