Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Symptoms

7. Throbbing in Collar Bone
As mentioned, our blood vessels carry resource-laden blood to other parts of the body where they are needed. The blood is usually able to flow freely through these vessels that are easily wide enough to handle. If, for any reason, this flow is restricted then problems can occur. In addition to appendages suffering from a lack of blood, the immediate area of the blockage can also be affected.
In instances of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, the passageway through the vasculature will be restricted and blood can build up at the site as a result. This can result in a lump at the area and a throbbing sensation.
