Hi all, I'm having issues with posture.

When I use rounded shoulder posture, TOS obviously doesn't have a good time.

BUT when I use good shoulder posture with my shoulders back, everything in my arms gets so much worse. My hands and arms turn purple rather than being pale, get much more numb and tingly, and fine motor goes to absolute shit. Can't lift my arms to be parallel to the floor. Muscle pain and pressure feeling gets much worse in the armpit to upper chest area.

I've been doing upper back and shoulder PT for about 6 years for general shoulder issues, so I don't understand why this would be such a problem and why I'm still so weak.

How do you guys deal with this?
